Pet Licensing and Permits

Naperville pet licenses issued after January 2015 are lifetime tags that do not need to be renewed. However, if the tag becomes lost or unreadable, residents can request a new tag at no charge by contacting Animal Control.

Reasons to license your pet

• It is required by the City of Naperville for all dogs and cats.
• A license lets everyone know that your pet is not a stray.
• Animals found in the field can be returned immediately to their home, making impounding unnecessary.
• You will be contacted on nights, weekends and holidays via a home phone number or emergency number if someone finds your lost pet.
• Licenses provide emergency medical care for your pet while in the custody of the City.

Fowl and Livestock Permits

City code (10-4-6: Fowl and Livestock) requires that a property owner obtain a permit prior to constructing, adding onto or modifying any pen, coop, building or other enclosure used for the purposes of housing fowl or livestock.

Permits are available at City Hall through the Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group. Questions about these permits can be directed to the TED permit counter at (630) 420-6100 opt #2.
