Animal Control Officer

Kip Sylvester, ACO & ADCO

HOME: 563-3634  CELL: 592-3067   PAGER: 851-9062

The Animal Control Officer provides enforcement of all local 

Animal Control Ordinances and State Laws pertaining to domesticated animals under the general direction of the Police Department.

The ACO is responsible for the following:

  • Responding to complaints
  • Proper handling of stray animals, as well as transporting to Lincoln County Animal Shelter
  • Certified Animal Damage Control Officer, a service provided to citizens subjected to wildlife nuisances.

It is a requirement to have your dog licensed by December 31, for the upcoming year. If your dog gets lost, this will help the ACO locate your pet by its tag number and reduce time.

The State allows a 30 day grace period with this rule, therefore once January 31 has come and gone and your dog remains unregistered, a late fee of $15.00 will be added to your regular licensing charge. These fees are mandated through the State of Maine.

You may reach Kip Sylvester if you feel you need his services at 563-3634 or page me at 851-9062. You may also contact the Town Office at 563-5168 to file your complaint or the Police Department at 563-1909 for further assistance.
