Dog licensing is to be processed in the current license year. 2026 licensing will start on Friday, January 2, 2026. 

All dogs, including foster dogs, over six months of age are required to be licensed annually with the City of Fairway between January 1 to March 31 to avoid a penalty charge and/or fine.  Late fees are applied on April 1st and increase each month. 

Residents may renew their dog’s tag through the online portal.

All it takes to obtain a dog license is a CURRENT RABIES CERTIFICATE issued from a licensed veterinarian. Invoices, receipts, and health summaries do not contain the required information that is found on the rabies certificate. Please note: A rabies vaccination certificate is considered "CURRENT" if it is valid at the time you purchase the City tag. For example if the rabies certificate expires in April 2026, then it is considered CURRENT during the registration period of January through March.  Do not wait until April to register or there will be late fees applied.

   
DELINQUENT FEES are as follows:
Licensing Fee + Delinquent Fee = Total Due
1st month late fee: (beginning April 1)….....$ 10.00
2nd month late fee: (beginning May 1)….....$ 20.00
June 1st $30.00 late fee + citation + $58.00 court costs

Delinquent fees are added to each dog license. 

If you no longer have your previously licensed pet or have any questions, please contact City Hall at (913) 262-0350 x0.

Three dogs and three cats are allowed per household.  Cats are not required to be licensed, but all cats must be vaccinated for rabies.
