Pet Dealer License

Interested parties should contact us to request a license application packet. Upon receipt of your request, an Animal Services Investigator will contact you to schedule an informative meeting detailing the application process.

If you sell pets, they must be microchipped and registered to the new owner and must be sold with an original official certificate of veterinary inspection (Sec. 5-10).

Kennel owners must present evidence that their business is legal, including:

• Corporate documents
• Federal identification number from the IRS
• Certificate of Occupancy (Miami-Dade County and / or municipality)
• Business tax receipt (Miami-Dade County and / or the municipality)

The Monthly Accounting Report must be submitted by the 10th of the month whether a transaction occurred or not.

Each field on the form must be completed and the contact information must be legible on both forms.

Pet dealer licenses vary in cost from $500 to $1,000, depending on the number of animals sold annually.
