Limestone County Probate Judge's Office

Veterinary License Filing with the Probate Judge's Office

Every veterinarian licensed by the Alabama State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners must file that license with the probate office of each county where they reside or practice, for a statutory fee of $1.00, under Ala. Code §34-29-84 — a statewide requirement with no local act anywhere in Title 45 Chapter 42 that displaces it for Limestone County. For Limestone, that filing point is the Limestone County Probate Judge's office, 100 S. Clinton St. Suite D/E, Athens. The Probate Judge's own published list of services — estates, adoptions, name changes, conservatorships, corporation recordings, deed and title searches, guardianships, marriage licenses, notary applications, involuntary commitments, real-property recordings, wills, UCC recordings and business entities — does not separately call out veterinary filings by name among them, but the statute itself names 'the probate office of the county' directly, and that statutory basis is sufficient on its own to place this filing at the Limestone County Probate Judge's office. This is separate from, and in addition to, the general county privilege license and its veterinary-surgery classification fee.
