(A) Sale or transfer.
(1) Immediately upon the sale or transfer of a vehicle licensed under this chapter, when the sale is made prior to the date of expiration of the license, the owner shall remove the metal license tag or vehicle sticker from the vehicle so sold or transferred. If the owner thereafter acquires another vehicle and wishes to transfer the license from the vehicle disposed of to the newly acquired vehicle, the owner shall immediately make an application to the City Collector for a transfer, providing the information contained herein. Upon surrender of the original vehicle sticker or metal license tag or upon proof that the tag or sticker has been destroyed, the Collector shall transfer the license to apply to the newly acquired vehicle upon payment of the proper fee. No person shall display a metal license tag or vehicle sticker on any vehicle other than the vehicle for which the tag or sticker was originally issued, without first transferring the license to the other vehicle, as provided in this section.
(2) The owner of a vehicle licensed under this chapter shall promptly notify the Collector whenever the tag or sticker issued under the license is lost, stolen or destroyed.
(3) The fee for a transfer of license is $10. If the newly acquired vehicle is of a class requiring the payment of a license fee higher than was paid for the license originally obtained for the vehicle disposed of, the fee required to be paid for the transfer shall be the sum of the difference between the fee paid for the original license and the fee fixed for the license class of the newly acquired vehicle, plus the transfer fee of $10.
(B) Replacement. When a resident must have a new windshield, a replacement vehicle sticker may be issued. The application must be accompanied by the original receipt issued by the establishment that installed the new windshield indicating the vehicle which received the new windshield. If the city’s records indicate that the vehicle is properly licensed, the Collector may issue the replacement vehicle sticker upon the payment of the transfer fee contained herein.
