My dog cannot get a rabies shot due to a medical condition. How do I get them a dog license?

In order to get a dogs license without getting a rabies shot we would need a rabies waiver filled out as to why the dog cannot get a rabies shot, along with a signature of the veterinarian.  Please contact our office for a rabies waiver.  Once you have the waiver, please mail it along with payment to: Grand Traverse County Treasurer's Office, 400 Boardman Ave STE 104, Traverse City, MI 49684. We will then contact our animal control officer and they will decide if the dog can get a license without a rabies shot.
