Microchipping is not mandatory in Fulton County. Fulton County Animal Services microchips all impounded pets at cost; Atlanta Code §18-126 requires rabies vaccination but not chips.
Georgia state law and Fulton County code require dogs and cats to wear current rabies tags. Microchips are not mandated but strongly encouraged. Fulton County Animal Services and LifeLine Animal Project offer low-cost microchipping ($25-$50). Impounded animals are scanned for chips at intake — chipped pets are reunited faster. State law requires shelters to scan strays for chips before euthanasia or adoption.
No microchip-specific violation; rabies-tag violations $50-$200.
