(A) The fee for an original and a renewal dog or cat license shall be as follows:
Neutered male dog or cat | $5 |
Spayed female dog or cat | $5 |
Unneutered male dog or cat | $10 |
Unspayed female dog or cat | $10 |
(B) The City Council may in special circumstances, after a hearing by the Board, exempt the license fee in individual cases.
(C) The fee for designated licensing agencies shall be as follows: Places of business designated by the City Council to make available animal licenses to owners as a convenience may charge up to $1 for each new or renewal license in order to defray the costs of providing the licensing service and the recordkeeping expense associated therewith.
(D) Dogs which are used by the visually impaired or otherwise disabled as “seeing-eye” dogs and service dogs are hereby exempt from the provisions of this chapter, except those provisions relating to the requirement that all dogs and other animals be vaccinated against rabies and regarding vicious animals. A dog is designated as a service dog when the condition of person using the animal meets the legal definition of disability and when the animal is trained to perform tasks that mitigate the owner’s disability. The City Council shall determine when a particular animal is a “seeing-eye” dog or a service dog and confirm the owner thereof is visually impaired or his or her condition meets the legal definition of disability for the purposes of this exclusion.
