The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) will waive all late penalties and field enforcement fees for pet owners purchasing or renewing pet licenses between December 1, 2024, and February 28, 2025.
Pet owners are required to have a valid pet license and their pet must be spayed/neutered and microchipped if they reside in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. This requirement also applies to residents of cities that contract with the County and have adopted the County's ordinance regarding animals.
"Providing this amnesty period for waiving late fees and penalties will enable pet owners to come into compliance with County regulations and State law in a more affordable manner," said DACC Director Marcia Mayeda. "It is our hope that pet owners of unlicensed pets will take this opportunity to come into compliance with these requirements and avoid costly penalties in the future."
Pet owners can obtain a new license or renew their pet's license at animalcare.lacounty.gov. Information on licensing fees can also be found on the website. Pet owners may also obtain a new license or renew their pet's license by printing the application online at animalcare.lacounty.gov and mailing it to DACC or by visiting their local County animal care center.
