All dogs and cats which are licensed by the city shall have a current vaccination against rabies. The vaccination shall have been performed only by a person qualified to practice veterinary medicine in the state in which the dog or cat was vaccinated.
(A) Tag license vaccination records. A licensee of a tag license must supply current vaccination records at the time of application for the tag license and each year thereafter provide current vaccination records upon annual renewal of a tag license.
(B) Microchip license vaccination records. A licensee of a microchip license must supply current vaccination records at the time of application for a microchip license.
(C) Other. The Police Department may also require that a licensee (tag license or microchip license) provide proof, at any time, that an animal has been vaccinated for rabies. In the event that a licensee is unable to provide proof of vaccination, the animal will be deemed unlicensed by the city and a citation may be issued. Upon reapplication for a tag license or a microchip license for the dog or cat, the city, in addition to requiring the usual license fee, may require a relicensing fee.
