A. The license fee for each motor vehicle or vehicle to be paid annually to the village clerk shall be as determined by the village board of trustees.
B. If such vehicle has been purchased or lawfully acquired by the applicant on or after December 1 of any current year, the fee to be paid shall be a sum equal to one-half (1/2) of the annual license fee, as a license fee for the balance of such year. Before any applicant shall be entitled to a prorated license as provided in this subsection, the said applicant shall furnish an affidavit, in form satisfactory to the village clerk, stating that the vehicle for which the license is applied was purchased or otherwise obtained by the applicant on or after December 1 of the current year, and shall exhibit to the village clerk the bill of sale covering the vehicle for which license is sought.
C. Any vehicle required to have a license by section 7-2-3 of this chapter on September 30, which does not have said license affixed thereto by twelve o'clock (12:00) midnight on said date of the license year, or does not have a vehicle license affixed thereto in the time provided by this chapter, shall pay double the amount as determined by the village board of trustees for the current required vehicle license.
