Renewable License Tags
Pasco County is happy to introduce Renewable Licensing Tags. What this means is that your pet will retain the same tag throughout its lifetime. No more having to find the pliers to get the tags off and on their collars! Although the license tag and number will stay the same over your pet’s life, the renewals of 1 or 3 years will continue. Have questions? Call us at 813-929-1212.
