The process of licensing a dog in Arlington is less onerous than it used to be, but efforts are underway to streamline it further.
Until recent years, dog owners were required to come to the treasurer’s office in person to present the required rabies certificate and pay the fee. More recently, an online option was added, but it remains a two-step process.
