(A) Any owner of a dog over the age of six months within the corporate limits, within 30 days after acquisition of said dog, shall acquire a license for each such dog annually by or before April 1 of each year. The said license shall be delinquent from and after April 30; provided, the owner of any dog brought into or harbored within the corporate limits subsequent to April 1 of any year shall be liable for the payment of the dog license tax levied herein, and such tax shall be delinquent if not paid within ten days thereafter. Licenses shall be issued by the Village Clerk upon the payment of a license fee in an amount of $5. When issued, such license shall not be transferrable, and no refund will be allowed in case of death, sale, or other disposition of the licensed dog. The owner shall state at the time the application is made, and upon printed forms provided for such purposes, his or her name, breed, color, and sex of each dog owned and kept by him, her, or them. A certificate that the dog has had a rabies shot, effective for the ensuing year of the license, shall be presented when the license is applied for, and no license or tag shall be issued until the certificate is shown.
(B) Upon payment of the license fee, the Village Clerk shall issue to the owner a license certificate and a metallic tag for each dog so licensed. The metallic tag shall be properly attached to the collar or harness of the dog so licensed, and shall entitle the owner to keep or harbor said dog until March 31 following such licensing. In the event that a license tag is lost and upon satisfactory evidence that the original plate or tag issued in accordance with the provisions herein, the Village Clerk shall issue a duplicate or new tag for the balance of the year and may charge and collect a fee of $1 for each such duplicate or new tag so issued. All license fees and collections shall be immediately credited to the General Fund. It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to issue tags of a suitable design that are different in appearance each year.
