Fish and Game Licenses
These are not available at the Town Office, but you can get them at the Lincoln General Store.

Animal Licenses
All residents who keep a dog or wolf-hybrid over the age of 6 months are required, by State Law, to license the animal with their Town Clerk each year. Bring a copy of the rabies certificate from your veterinarian, along with $14 for a spayed/neutered dog or $18 for an intact animal. The deadline for licensing is April 1st, each year. After April 1, the cost goes up to $16 and $22. For your convenience, I have scheduled a rabies clinic on Saturday, March 19, from 9:30-10:30 am at the Town Office.

Dept. of Motor Vehicles
We can process a vehicle, boat, or trailer registration renewal, as long as it is not more than 60 days expired; and snowmobiles within the year. A check or money order for the DMV renewal fee is required (no cash). There is a $3 fee for the Town, payable separately from the DMV check. We issue a temporary registration and sticker while you wait for your renewal to come by mail. Many DMV forms and manuals are available here. New vehicle registrations must be done with DMV directly.

Postings may include information and deadlines for voters, help wanted for town government, meeting notices, events in town, office or road closings, etc. We prefer not to include personal “classified” ads. If you would like to receive this information or post something, send an e-mail to: clerk@lincolnvermont.org.
