Dog owners will have extra time to get their dog tags this year.
Washington County Auditor Matthew Livengood said House Bill 404 “extended the deadline for pretty much every license, to include dog tags.”
The deadline to purchase dog tags is now July 1.
Livengood said a tag has to be purchased within 30 days of getting a dog or within 30 days after a dog turns 3 months old.
Ohio Revised Code 955.01 states that if an application is not filed and registration fee paid, the auditor shall assess a penalty in an amount equal to the registration fee for one year on the dog’s owner.

Gross sexual imposition and felonious assault were just two of the offenses brought before the Washington County Grand Jury this week.
Jason Dean Lanning, 37, of 105 Melody Lane, Marietta, was indicted on two counts of felonious assault, both second-degree felonies, after he allegedly pistol whipped a man and tried to run him over with a vehicle.
According to Marietta Police reports, units were dispatched Nov. 18 to 840 Pike St., Sierra Apartments, in reference to an assault. Contact was made with the victims and other witnesses. Through the investigation, it was found that Lanning had arrived at the apartment parking lot and got into a verbal argument that escalated into a gun being pulled and the victim being pistol whipped by Lanning.
The Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition of 1897 was a huge event celebrating the 100th anniversary of the stateâs entry into the union and featuring more than 100 buildings spread over 200 acres in Nashville, including an exact replica of the Greek Parthenon which still stands.
Counties contributed in various ways to the event and Washington County, the stateâs first, appropriately lent history to display on this historic occasion. Its documents included the first minutes of the Washington County Court in the handwriting of John Sevier, its first clerk, and, Deed Book A, an 1830s copy of the countyâs original deed book created between 1717 and 1782.
