About each permit
Veterinary Premises Registration
$500 to register the premises and $525 a year to renew — the renewal is dearer than the initial registration, which is unusual and easy to under-budget. The premises permit is ANNUAL while the individual veterinarian license is biennial, so the two fall due on different cycles; missing the premises renewal costs a $50 delinquency fee. This registers the clinic, and is entirely separate from the licenses held by the veterinarians working in it. Anyone reading older Board papers should be careful: the 2020 rulemaking documents still show a $400 renewal, and that figure is superseded.
