A pet license is required regardless of whether they are kept indoors or outdoors.

A Snohomish County pet license is your best assurance for the safe return of a lost pet.

Snohomish County has a countywide leash law, which requires any dog off the property of the owner to be under the control of a responsible individual. It is against the law to allow your dog to roam off your property.
