Along with the form, you will need to pay a license fee. In many cities across the nation, this process can be completed through the mail. Keep in mind that licenses for spayed or neutered pitbulls usually cost less. Also be aware that you may have to pay a fine if you don't properly license your pitbull(s), so avoid the extra cost and just get it done.

All pitbulls six months old and older must obtain a license, and such a license is renewed each year for the life of your pitbull. You will not need to obtain a rabies vaccination every year, but your license will state when the current rabies vaccination expires. Most DOG license agencies issue licenses from January to December, with renewal obtained every January, but again, that is up to local DOG licensing departments. Showing proof of spaying or neutering is only done once, as the licensing authority in your area will keep a copy of the document in their files for the life of the pitbull.

It's not a complicated, or expensive procedure, and serves to protect both your pitbull and the community.
