The Town of Milford has entered into an Inter-Municipal Agreement (IMA) with other towns in Otsego County to have Delta Engineering document the condition/quality of town roads. Numerous citizens have asked the town board for the town’s position on gas drilling and hydro-fracking.

To all dog owners in the Town of Milford
This informational letter is going to all dog owners in the town of Milford concerning licensing requirements as mandated by the state of New York. I hope that this will bring all dog owners up to speed as to the regulations that exist regarding dogs.
First of all, New York State mandates that all dogs are to be licensed. Licensing used to be through the department of agriculture and markets. Now, New York state has placed that responsibility on the individual town and specifically me, your town clerk.
Licensing is a yearly event and I will automatically send out renewal notices during the month the renewal is due. Currently the cost for spayed/neutered dogs is $6.50 and for unspayed/un-neutered $14.50. The costs are necessary to pay the New York state surcharge per license, cost of the license tag, cost of materials and postage.
