A. Upon receipt of a complete application and payment of the license fee, a certificate and tag will be issued for each dog licensed. The tag will be stamped with the license number on the certificate. The owner must attach the tag to the collar or harness of the dog and see that the collar and tag are constantly worn by the dog when it is off the owner's real property.
B. License tags are not transferable from one dog to another or from one owner to another. No refunds will be made on any license fee for any reason whatsoever. Replacement tags may be obtained upon payment of the established fee.
C. Removing or causing the removal of a collar, harness, or tag from any licensed dog without the consent of the owner or keeper of the dog is prohibited, except by:
1. A licensed veterinarian or employee of a veterinary hospital or clinic who removes the tag for medical reasons; or
2. An animal control officer who removes the tag as part of his or her official duties.
D. Any dog found running at large without a valid tag will be presumptively considered unlicensed unless the owner or custodian can provide proof of a current valid license. (Ord. 3383 §2, 2010)
