(A) License fees shall be set by resolution of the Council. There shall be a fee for each dog, in case of a dog which has been duly licensed in another county, township, city or village in the state, if application is made by the owner of the dog within 30 days after taking up residence in the village, and at least 60 days prior to the expiration of his foreign license, the Village Clerk shall collect a fee for each dog. The Clerk shall retain and file the foreign license but shall return it to the owner on demand if at any time the owner returns to his or her former jurisdiction or for any other cause desires the return of his or her license and deposits with the Clerk his or her Village of Bingham Farms license in exchange therefor. Any person becoming the owner of any dog after the first day of April of any year which dog has not already been licensed, or any person owning a dog which becomes four months old after April 1 of any year, shall forthwith apply for and secure a license for the dog, which license shall be issued without penalty, in the event the application be made within 30 days after applicant has acquired the dog or after the dog has reached the age of four months. Any owner of a dog failing to obtain a license as provided herein prior to March 31 shall pay a double fee for the license. In situations where a dog is acquired or becomes four months of age, or a dog owner begins residing in the village, after July 1, the owner shall only be required to pay one-half of the annual fee.
(B) Duplicates of license shall be issued upon payment of the required fee. All monies received by the Clerk shall be turned over to the Village Treasurer. No person shall keep more than two dogs of the age of four months or over on any property in the village.
