Treasurer reports dog license sales up; warns of staffing strain during tax season
The Adams County treasurer presented the monthly report and reported increased dog licensing activity.

The treasurer said the office had doubled pet license sales compared with the prior year: "Since December 15 through yesterday, we sold 131 pet licenses versus 68 previous year," the treasurer said. The treasurer cautioned that processing a pet license takes about five minutes and that tax season beginning Feb. 1 will draw people into the treasurer's office, creating potential staffing and queue issues.

Board members discussed moving licensing to Planning and Zoning (which recently added animal staff) or keeping licensing in the county clerk or treasurer's office per statute. The treasurer noted statutes call for municipal treasurers and clerks to take licenses but that the county treasurer is responsible for settlement. The board discussed developing an electronic license application to reduce in‑person time but noted that processing and reconciliation will still require staff capacity.

The treasurer also said there was an amended report item to correct submission dates and that the delinquent tax data would be updated.
