(A) At the time an animal is registered as herein provided, the veterinarian who inoculated the dog or cat shall issue a registration tag furnished by the Macon County Animal Control through its authorized agent bearing a number corresponding with the number on said registration certificate. The registration tag must be obtained from the authorized agent of Macon County Animal Control when a vaccination is obtained out of county after presenting proof of rabies vaccination. Registration tags must be of suitable, durable material and of a size suitable to be affixed to a collar worn by the registered animal. Registration tags shall be varied either in color or in shape from registration period to registration period so that tags issued for a registration period may be readily distinguished from tags issued for prior periods in near proximity of time.
(B) Duplicate registration tags shall be issued by the authorized agent of Macon County Animal Control in the event the original tag is lost or destroyed, upon presentation of evidence or the prior payment of registration fee, unless exempt, for the animal for the current registration period along with an application for such duplicate registration tag and the payment of a fee equivalent to the cost for the duplicate tag.
