Norfolk is Making Pet Licensing Easy

NORFOLK, VA – The City of Norfolk reminds residents it’s time to license pets for 2023 – and now it’s easier than ever! Purchasing a license tag and attaching it to a pet’s collar is one of the most important things a resident can do as a responsible pet owner. In addition, displaying a current Norfolk tag on a dog’s collar makes it easier for animal control officers and shelter employees to locate a lost pet’s owner information. A pet’s current license could be their ticket home!

To license online, visit petdata.com/nfk. Pet owners can license multiple pets at the same time and easily upload required documents. All major credit cards are accepted; a small convenience fee will apply per transaction.

All City of Norfolk pet licenses expire on Dec. 31 and must be renewed annually. Renewal notices for 2023 will be mailed soon. The due date is Feb. 28. All cats and dogs over four months old must have their rabies vaccinations and be licensed with the City. The City of Norfolk encourages spaying and neutering.

2023 license fees are:

  • Unaltered pet – $25
  • Spayed/neutered pet – $5
  • Spayed/neutered pet (Senior citizen owner aged 55+) – $2 

 

To license by mail, pet owners can mail a copy of their pet’s current rabies certificate and any other applicable documentation along with a check payable to the City of Norfolk:

Norfolk Animal Licensing
 c/o PetData
 P.O. Box 141929
 Irving, TX 75014

  • Norfolk Animal Care: 5585 Sabre Rd, Monday – Sunday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
  • Norfolk City Hall, City Treasurer: 810 Union St, 1st Floor, Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.

CPRV Neighbors Toast to Six Months of Happy Hours at Perro Blanco

The Colonial Place Riverview Civic League marked its sixth consecutive monthly Community Happy Hour on Wednesday, November 5th—this time at Perro Blanco, our neighborhood’s go-to Tequila & Mezcal spot.

What started as a fun idea from Artemis Stoll, our incredible Social Events Committee Chair, has blossomed into a monthly tradition that truly embodies the spirit of CPRV. Artemis envisioned these gatherings as a way to spotlight local businesses while giving neighbors a chance to connect, laugh, and build friendships—and she’s delivered in every way. Her dedication over the years has played a huge role in helping our community grow closer and more vibrant.

This month’s happy hour had it all—a lively lounge atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food, and a fantastic turnout. We saw new faces, familiar friends, and even neighbors who hadn’t been to an event in a while. From tacos and nachos to tequila and good conversation, it was the kind of evening that reminds us why we love calling CPRV home.

Next month, we’ll keep the fun rolling with our December Happy Hour at Fellini’s (date TBD). Follow us on social media for updates—and come raise a glass with your neighbors!

We love being your neighbor!
