Dog Licenses

Your dog’s license will expire on Tuesday, April 30. If you have a new dog or have just moved to town, you will need to bring in your pet’s proof of rabies and neutering/spaying. If your dog is currently licensed with us, then you will want to check to be sure that his or her rabies has not expired. There will be a rabies clinic in Franklin on March 30 and another in Andover on Saturday, April 20, from 1 to 2 PM at the Andover Fish and Game Club on Channel Road.

The cost to license your dog is $9 for dogs who have not been altered, $6.50 for dogs that have been altered or $2 if you (not your dog) qualify for a senior discount.

You can renew your dog’s license by mail, in person, or online. The renewal letter we send will give you instructions for renewing online.

NHDRA Property Tax Relief

Forms will be available in the Town Clerk’s office to apply for the New Hampshire Property Tax Relief. To qualify you will need to meet certain criteria. You need to own your own home, reside there, and if you are single, you should have an adjusted gross income of less than or equal to $2o,000. If you are married or head of a New Hampshire household with adjusted gross income less than or equal to $40,000 then you may qualify.

The application must be filed between May 1 and June 30. Forms may be picked up in the office in May or found online at revenue.nh.gov.

Town Clerk’s Office Windows

The next time you come in to our office, you will notice a big change. Our renovations have been completed and really look terrific.

As you walk into the lobby, you will notice how much lighter it looks. With the new glassed-in walls, the light from outside pours right through to the lobby.

We still don’t like having to talk with our friends and neighbors through the glass, but we are trying to make it work. Stop by and see how lovely it looks.
