New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions

Veterinary License (individual, no premises registration)

New York registers veterinarians, not veterinary premises — there is no clinic, hospital or facility registration to obtain, which makes opening a practice here administratively lighter than in states that license the building. Article 135 contains no premises provision, and the state's own fee chart makes the point by contrast: it has a Pharmacy Establishments section with registration fees for pharmacies and wholesalers, and no veterinary equivalent. The individual license is $372 to obtain — $130 application plus $242 registration — and $287 to re-register every three years, which includes a $45 continuing education fee against a 45-hour requirement. A limited permit is $105. A practice organised as a professional corporation or PLLC needs entity authorisation from the Education Department, which is a company formality rather than a premises license.
