1. Annual License Required. Every owner of a dog over the age of six (6) months shall procure a dog license from the Police Department on or before the first day of July of each year. The form of the application shall state the breed, sex, age, color, markings, and name, if any, of the dog, and the address of the owner and shall be signed by the owner. The application shall also state the date of the most recent rabies vaccination, the type of vaccine administered and the date the dog shall be revaccinated.
2. Fee. The annual license fee for each male dog, for each female dog, and for each spayed dog shall be set by resolution by the City Council.
3. License Records. Upon payment of the license fee, and providing proof of a current vaccination against rabies, the Police Department shall issue to the owner a license which shall contain the name of the owner, the owner's place of residence and a description of the dog. The Police Department shall keep a duplicate of each license issued as a public record, which will show:
a. The serial number and date of each application for a license.
b. The description of the dog as specified in the application, together with the name of the owner of the dog.
c. The date when each license tag is issued and the serial number of each tag, the date of the most recent rabies vaccination, the type of vaccine administered, and the date the dog shall be revaccinated.
d. The amount of all fees paid.
e. Such other data as may be required by law.
4. License Tags. Upon issuance of the license, the Police Department shall deliver or mail to the owner a metal tag stamped with the number of the license and the year for which it is issued. The license tag shall be securely fastened to a collar or harness which shall be worn by the dog for which the license is issued.
5. Delinquency. All license fees shall become delinquent on the first day of July of the year in which they are due and a delinquent penalty of one dollar ($1.00) shall be added to each unpaid license on and after said date.
A license issued for one dog shall not be transferable to another dog. Upon the expiration of the license the owner shall remove said tag from the dog. Any dog found running at large without the license tag attached to its collar or harness shall be deemed unlicensed.
6. Duplicate Tags. Upon the filing of an affidavit that the license tag has been lost or destroyed, the owner may obtain another tag from the Cascade Police Department. The Police Department shall enter in the license record the new tag number assigned. The fee for duplicate tags shall be established by resolution of the Council.
7. Transfers of Licensed Dogs. Upon transfer of a licensed dog into the City, the owner shall surrender the original license tag to the Police Department. The Police Department shall preserve the surrendered tag and, without a license fee, issue a new license tag, provided that proof of registration and rabies vaccination is shown.
