The Board issues animal crematory licenses to a fixed location that offers animal crematory services. All licenses expire on December 31st of every even-numbered year.
Pending inspection and licensure, the crematory may open for business once the completed application and appropriate fee have been submitted to the Board's office. Please see the Animal Crematory Application and Instructions for more details, including the steps required to obtain licensure.
Note! If you will be submitting a new premises license application between November 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, please pay the fee of $100 vs. $50. The $100 fee is for premises licensed in 2025; it is likely that new applicants will not be licensed until then. Paying the $100 fee now will save the time and effort to send another $50 check prior to licensure. Thank you!
