(A) Issuance of tag. Upon payment of the license fee under § 91.28, the city shall cause to be issued to the owner a license certificate in the form of a receipt and a metallic tag for each dog or cat so licensed. The tag shall have stamped thereon the year for which it was issued and the number appearing on the certificate. Every owner shall provide each dog or cat with a collar and shall securely attach to such collar the license tag and vaccination tag.
(B) Transferability; use of tag on unlicensed animal. No license is transferable and no license tag shall be fastened to any dog or cat other than the one for which it was issued. Any person who knowingly fastens a license tag or a vaccination tag to any dog or cat other than the dog or cat for which such tag was issued or who willfully permits a dog or cat to wear any license tag or vaccination tag issued for another dog or cat is guilty of a misdemeanor. The animal control officer or peace officer shall impound and dispose of every dog or cat found bearing a license tag or vaccination tag not issued for that dog or cat, in the same manner as a dog or cat may be impounded, redeemed, or disposed of under § 91.08.
(C) Duplicate tag. In case a license tag is lost or destroyed, the owner of the dog or cat shall apply to the city, or the city’s authorized representative, for a duplicate tag and the city shall cause to be issued a duplicate tag upon presentation of the receipt showing payment for the license for the current year and upon payment of $2 for the duplicate tag.
