Town Clerk’s Office Seeking Portland’s
“Top Dog”
IT’S BACK! The Portland Town Clerk’s office is once again accepting donations of dog and cat food as part of our annual contest to determine which dog will wear the No. 1 dog tag for the upcoming year. The pet food collected will go to the Portland Food Bank, for those in temporary need.
Entry is easy, just donate cans/ bags of dog or cat food when registering your dog at the Town Clerk’s Office between now and June 30th. For each can/ bag donated, your dog will earn a ticket for a drawing to be held at 11:00 am on June 30th. Limit of 16 tickets per dog. The first three tickets chosen will receive the #1, #2, and #3 dog tags.
All dog owners must obtain a license or renew their current licenses between June 1st and June 30th for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The state-mandated registration fee is $8 for a spayed/ neutered dog, and $19 for a non-spayed/ non-neutered dog. Certificate of spayed/ neutered must be provided for first time licenses to receive the $8 fee amount. A rabies vaccination certificate must also be provided for first time licenses or if the previous vaccination has expired.

About the Town Clerk's Office
The office of the Town Clerk has been serving the residents of Portland since 1841. While the clerk’s duties have varied over the years, municipal record keeping has remained the foundation of the office.
Today the Town Clerk's Office serves as the hub for hunting/fishing licenses, notarizing, trade name certificates, dog licenses, the issuing of absentee ballots, and also serves as the registrar of vital statistics.
Our office is continually striving to provide the most efficient services to our residents and taxpayers while maintaining the high level of customer service that has always distinguished this office. Our land records are now accessible online from 1850 through the present. Please visit us on our web site or in person – we look forward to assisting you!
