Licenses
Dog/Cat Licenses and Tie up
Dogs and cats four months of age or older in Clive must have a pet license, and renews on an annual basis. It is unlawful to allow dogs or cats to run at large within the corporate limits of the city. Any animal at large may be impounded and the owner fined.
The cities of Clive, Urbandale and West Des Moines are finalizing a joint partnership of a more customer-friendly, efficient pet licensing process for all residential pet owners. The cities are working with a new vendor, Humane Enterprises, to process 2012, and future, pet licenses. In the coming weeks specific information will be mailed to Clive households on the changes, along with application packets. Details will also be available on the City of Clive website and in offices such as City Hall or the Police Department.
Due to this change Clive will not be selling 2012 pet licenses at City Hall, as licenses were previously available. Pet owners must complete the application they receive in the mail or on the city's website (once posted), then mail all documents to Humane Enterprises. If applicable, proof of an animal having been spayed or neutered will be required in the first registration submission to be eligible for the lower license fee(s).
Annual license fees are as follows:
Spayed or Neutered Cats, $13 each, or $20 if not altered.
Spayed or Neutered Dogs, $15 each, or $25 if not altered.
Each application also requires a $4 processing fee per animal and there is a $25 late fee assessed per application of existing animals subject to licensing after May 1st.
The finalization of this license process is expected to be completed by February or March 2012, please monitor the City Newsletter and website for further updates. Clive will continue to honor any existing 2011 pet license through April, 2012, but residents will be expected to license their animal on or prior to April 30, 2012. After this initial licensing period late fees will apply to all animals, with the exception of newly obtained animals and/or new residents.
