New York State Agriculture and Markets Law requires all dogs in New York State to be licensed. New legislation signed by Governor Paterson requires all pet dealers to give notice to any person buying a dog that licenses may be obtained from the municipality in which the dog resides. If you live in:

• Madison County, contact Hamilton Town Clerk at (315) 824-3380
• Chenango County, contact the Sherburne Town Clerk at (607) 674-4481

You can download the NYS Dog License Application here. Complete the form and then remit it to your respective municipal licensing agent above, either in person or by mail with the following:

• The completed application form;
• Appropriate fee (check with your municipal licensing agent for the local fee amount);
• Spay/neuter certificate (if applicable);
• Proof of rabies vaccination signed by a licensed veterinarian; and
• If applicable, proof of exemption status.

In New York State, all towns and cities license dogs, however few villages are granted the authority to do so. Earlville is not one of them. For more information about dog licensing, visit the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets website here.

During the annual grievance period for assessments, the New York State Board of Real Property Services has created the form here to help you with a complaint on real property assessment. This form is for your respective (Madison or Chenango County) assessor, not the village.

Marriage licenses and fishing licenses can be obtained from your respective town clerk (see the dog licenses listings above for contact information).

Certified Transcripts of Death and Birth Certificates can be obtained from the Village Office if the deceased's certificate was filed in Earlville or if your birth was performed in Earlville. The cost is $10 for each certificate requested.

If you believe someone in the village is in violation of the New York State Open Burning Law, contact the NYSDEC Region 7 Air Quality Office at (315) 426-7552. Your information can be kept confidential. For a full version of the law, visit the DEC website here.
