A. Upon payment of the license fee, the City shall issue to the owner a certificate and a tag for each animal licensed. The tag shall have stamped thereon the license number corresponding with the tag number on the certificate. The owner shall attach the tag to the collar or harness for the animal and see that the collar and tag are constantly worn. Failure to attach the tag as provided shall be a violation of this chapter, except that animals which are kept for exhibition purposes are exempt from wearing the collar and tag during exhibition.
B. License tags are not transferable. Refund of a license fee is not allowed for any reason whatsoever. Replacements for lost or destroyed tags shall be issued upon payment of the required replacement tag fee.
C. No person, other than a licensed veterinarian or a City designee who removes such for medical and other reasons, may remove or cause the removal of the collar, harness or tag from any licensed animal without the consent of the owner or keeper thereof.
