2nd Half Taxes Are Due Friday, June 16, 2023 for Real Estate & Manufactured Homes.

As a reminder, all dogs older than three months are required to be registered in Ohio per Ohio Revised Code 955.01. 

If you no longer own a dog or if your beloved dog has passed, please contact the Auditor’s Office at (740) 455-7109 option 1 or jabell@muskingumcountyauditor.org to update our records.

At this time, all dog licenses purchased for 2023 are considered late registrations and, as such, will have a penalty fee applied.  The cost for a one-year license with the penalty applied is $20.00.

There are currently three methods to renew/purchase your Muskingum County Dog License:

1. Purchase your 2023 Dog License online at www.doglicenses.us/oh/muskingum.  Online purchases require a purchasing fee of $2.00 per license plus shipping and handling.
