PET LICENSES & ANIMAL SERVICES

Dogs and cats living in SeaTac require pet licenses that must be renewed annually. Regional Animal Services of King County licenses pets for the City of SeaTac and provide animal control services.

 

Benefits of Pet Licensing

  • Found pets are reunited quickly with their owner.
  • Your pet gets a free ride home the first time it is found.
  • Your pet gets a longer care period.
  • You and your pet get the Vacation Pet Alert.
  • License fees support the return of hundreds of lost pets to their home and help adopt thousands of homeless pets to new families every year.

You may purchase a King County pet license at SeaTac City Hall or by mail or online:

  • In Person: You can buy a pet license in person at SeaTac City Hall during regular business hours.  For a list of other in person locations click here.

Lost a Pet?

New Permanent Pet License Tags
King County now issues permanent pet license tags for all new and renewed pet licenses. The permanent tag, made of stainless steel, replaces the annually issued aluminum pet license tag and is intended to last for the life of the pet. Pet licenses are required to be renewed annually, but the tag is now permanent.

Replacement of lost or damaged permanent tags can be done in person at more than 10 locations throughout King County, or by mail.  Replacement of a permanent tag is currently $5. Contact the pet license office at 206.296.2712 or via email at petlicense@kingcounty.gov for more information.
