(A) Requirements: Upon receipt of proof of vaccination and the license fee, the City Treasurer or license agent shall issue to the applicant a metallic tag. The shape of the tag shall be changed each year and shall have stamped thereon the year for which it was issued and the number corresponding with the number on the certificate. Every owner is required to provide each dog with a substantial collar, to which the license tag shall be affixed at all times. A dog found off the owner's premises without a license tag shall be deemed to be not licensed, even though a license has been issued for such dog. In the event a dog tag is lost or destroyed, a duplicate shall be issued by the City Treasurer. The owner shall produce a receipt or duplicate receipt showing payment of the license fee for the current year and the owner shall pay a fee for such duplicate. License tags are not transferable from one dog to another and it shall be unlawful for any person to cause or permit a license tag to be placed upon a dog for which it was not issued. A dog found with a license tag issued to another dog shall be deemed to be not licensed. No refunds shall be made on a dog license fee because of the death of the dog or the owner leaving the City before the expiration of the license period.
(B) Penalties: See section 6-2-16 of this chapter. (Ord. 877, 5-2-2011)
