In the event that a license is not acquired by the required date, a late fee in the amount of $25 shall be charged in addition to the above license fee. Said license shall not be transferable and no refund will be allowed in case of death, sale, or other disposition of the licensed dog or cat. The owner shall state at the time the application is made and upon printed forms provided for such purpose, his or her name and address and the name, breed, color, and sex of each dog and/or cat owned and kept by him or her. A certificate that the dog or cat has had a rabies shot, effective for the 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.
