Gem Lake News Page 7 of 8 City News Get your Dog License Now It’s time to renew or obtain a license tag for your canine friend. Gem Lake Ordinance No. 140 requires the licensing of all dogs who reside within city limits. Recently, all residents were sent a letter outlining the requirements and provided the application form to get the job done. It’s quick and easy and costs $10. You will need to include your current rabies certificate. In return you will get a dog tag with a number on it. This could come in handy if your dog ever relocates itself. You can mail in the form with payment, or call the office to arrange for credit card payment. Call Melissa Lawrence at 651-747-2790. Just a reminder: if you are keeping chickens, driving a golf cart along city streets or have a rental property, you also need a license. Call for more information.
