A. All dog or cat licenses shall be valid for a period of one or three (3) years from the date of issuance, with no credit other than that authorized in subsection B of this section to be given for a license required for less than that period. The owner of any dog or cat that will remain within the City after the expiration date of the current license shall apply to the City's animal control contractor for a new license pursuant to section 6.8.104 of this article. The owner of a dog or cat shall have thirty (30) days after the expiration of the license to make application for a new license. Any application received after that date shall be considered delinquent and, in addition to the basic fee established in section 6.8.105 of this article, shall be subject to a penalty established by City Council prior to issuance of the new license.
B. No dog or cat license shall be transferred from one owner to another. The license may be transferred to another animal of the same type upon presentation to the City's animal control contractor of an inoculation certificate, proof of alteration if applicable and a showing of disposition of the dog or cat previously issued the license.
