Any resident of the County may obtain a dog license tag by making written application to the Treasurer or his designee, accompanied by the amount of the license tax and a certificate that such dog has been inoculated or vaccinated against rabies. The certificate of vaccination or inoculation shall be signed by a currently licensed veterinarian or licensed veterinary technician who is under the immediate and direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian on premises, certifying that the dog for which the license is to be issued, has been vaccinated or inoculated for rabies. The certificate shall show the date of inoculation, the type of vaccine used (whether modified live virus or killed virus), the sex and breed of the dog, whether or not the dog has been neutered or sterilized and the name of the owner. No certificate or affidavit other than the above described certificate or a duplicate issued by a licensed veterinarian shall be accepted by the Treasurer or other authorized person.
The Treasurer or his designee shall license only dogs of owners or custodians who reside within the boundary limits of the County and its incorporated towns and may require information to this effect from any applicant. Upon receipt of the proper application and certificate of vaccination, the Treasurer or his designee shall issue a license receipt for the non-refundable fee on which the Treasurer shall have recorded the name and address of the owner or custodian, name, breed, age, description of the animal and rabies expiration date, the date of payment, the year for which the license is issued, the serial number of the license tag, whether the dog has been sterilized or not, and deliver the metal license tag provided for in Section 612.08.
