Housing: The Office of Graduate Medical Education maintains a binder full of ads listing houses for rent and sale. Although we do not have the staff to work with the book, we do allow property owners to list property in the book and anyone may look through it. If you are planning a trip to look for housing please feel free to stop in and take a look. We are open from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday. We are located in M148 in the Green Zone, Duke South.

Pet License: The City and County of Durham require tags for both dogs and cats. Tags are available at the veterinarian of your choice. The veterinarian will notify the animal control office which then notifies the tax office for tax purposes. For more information call (919) 560-0630 or view Vaccination and Licensing.
