Newark CO §618.08 (Registration of Dogs Required) layers atop Ohio R.C. 955.01 to require every dog over three months old to be registered with the Licking County Auditor's office. Tags must be displayed on the dog at all times.
Section 618.08 incorporates Ohio R.C. 955.01's statewide dog registration requirement. Every Ohio dog over three months of age must have a current dog tag from the county auditor where the owner resides - in Newark's case, the Licking County Auditor. Tags are issued annually with the registration year running January 1 through December 31; late registration after January 31 incurs a doubled fee. Tags must be securely attached to the dog's collar. Unregistered or untagged dogs picked up by Newark Animal Control or the Licking County Dog Warden can be impounded and held for a statutory redemption period before adoption or euthanasia under Ohio R.C. 955.16.
Failure to register or display a tag is a minor misdemeanor under Ohio R.C. 955.99 - up to $150 fine. Impoundment fees, late tag penalties, and boarding charges accumulate separately.
