Dog Registration

The City of Sergeant Bluff encourages owners of dogs that are 6 months of age or older to be registered. Registration is OPTIONAL, but dog registering enables Sergeant Bluff Police Officers to reunite dogs with their owners in a timely manner if they are found loose. This preventative measure provides a better chance of keeping your beloved pet out of Animal Control's care.

There is a one-time fee of $10.00.

Dog impound Fees:

  • First Offense: Free
  • Second Offense: $15.00
  • Third Offense: $25.00

Items that are needed to obtain a dog registration:

  • Proof of rabies vaccination with a copy of a shot record and/or receipt from veterinarian
  • Proof of spay/neuter (if applicable) with a copy of a receipt for the procedure and/or documentation from veterinarian
  • Picture of each dog separately
  • You may pay by cash, check, money order, or credit card

Methods for returning dog registration form:

  • Mail - City of Sergeant Bluff, 401 4th Street, P.O. Box 703, Sergeant Bluff, Iowa 51054
  • Stop by City Hall to have the picture(s) taken and drop off documentation along with payment
  • E-mail photos to danny@cityofsergeantbluff.com.
