Miscellaneous information
Pets
Arizona law requires all dogs over four months to be
vaccinated and licensed. A new resident has a
thirty-day grace period from the date of entry.
Cats are exempt from this law, but they are subject
to rabies and if you value your pet, a vaccination
is strongly recommended.
All incorporated areas of Maricopa County have
strict leash laws. Dogs must be kept on owner’s
property, either tied or with a fence and must be on
a leash with a person on the other end if on the
streets. Large fines can result from uncontrolled
pets and from not cleaning up after your pet in
public parks.
Voter Registration
To vote in local and national elections, you must be
registered at least twenty nine days prior to the
election. You must be at least 18 years old, a
citizen of the United States and a resident of
Arizona. You may register at a Motor Vehicle
Division or on line at
www.dot.state.az.us/mvd.
Wills/Power of Attorney
All new GLBT residents should have an Arizona GPGLCC
member attorney review their wills and power of
attorney to verify that they are in accord with
Arizona law. Arizona is a community property state
and a will drawn up in another state may not be
valid here.
Volunteer
After getting settled in your new home, it’s time to
make new friends. A great way to start meeting
people is to volunteer your time to an organization.
