Requirements of pet ownership
All domestic animals dogs and cats living in unincorporated Volusia County must be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian and have a current Volusia County license tag.
The tag proves the animal has its current vaccinations and enables Volusia County Animal Control to return the animal to its rightful owner.
If you live in a city, please check with your city's animal services department for information about licensing requirements.
Volusia County's "control" law for dogs requires dogs to be under physical restraint or verbal command when outside.
If you need additional information, please check with your veterinarian.
