Every dog needs a license from its home municipality and a dog park permit. For 2027, Madison and Dane County both charge $55 a year for Dane County residents ($96 for non-residents) or $13 a day, with reduced annual prices for seniors, people with disabilities, military and veterans. The Madison permit also works at designated locations in Dane County parks, Middleton and Sun Prairie; the county requires its own permit at county dog parks.
Bring water, pick up after your dog, and keep an eye on play. Visiting dogs need a daily permit, a license from home and current vaccinations. See our Pets in Madison guide for licensing details.
