Small Animal Training Establishment Permit

Review the Required Documents Checklist to determine which documents you must submit along with your application.

All NYC Health Department permittees are required to carry Workers’ Compensation and Disability Insurance and present proof of coverage at the time of application. If you are exempt from this requirement, you must provide a Certificate of Attestation of Exemption (form CE-200) from NYS Workers’ Compensation to present at the time of application. 

Proof of a Certificate of Authority to Collect Sales Tax. The address on the Certificate must match that of the applicant or establishment for which an application is being submitted.

Proof of Animal Care & Handling Certificate. All small animal training establishments must have a supervising manager who has passed an Animal Care and Handling Course. An Animal Care and Handling Certificate or registration in the course is required at the time of applying for the permit, and certification is required prior to opening the business establishment.

All outstanding fines imposed for Health Code violations at a permitted animal facility must be paid before you can apply for or renew a permit issued by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Fines may be paid in person at the NYC Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings or Online.
