I used to get my dog his rabies shot at Markets of Marion. They do not do licenses. I had to go to the vet and show him my rabies certificate to get a tag for Bart. The tag cost $7.

Clarification. A Rabies Tag is not a County License. All counties require a County License, Sumter, Marion and Lake however how well they check if your cat or dog has one is another matter. Even if you have a cat that stays indoors it has been a known fact that Sumter for awhile was being especially strict on this if they happened by and saw you cat in an lanai or in a window they can knock on your door and ask to see the County License. Chances of it happening ar slim but it has happened and they do this randomly. Whether they fine you or give you a warning is probably up to them but the fines can be high. Many Vet offices will sell the County Licenses. I know mine did as a courtesy to their clients but they add a fee. Best to go to the county to get them and some counties have 3 year ones which saves you $$. A Rabies certificate and or tag is the law!
