Every person, firm, or corporation owning, harboring, possessing, or having custody of a dog within the city shall, on or before the due date as defined in this chapter, pay to the city a license fee as set by resolution of the city council of the city. (Prior code § 57107)
The city's finance director, or the director's designee, shall, upon receiving payment of the proper fee and the display of the certificate required in section 6.04.150 of this chapter, make the official record of the dog and the fee paid and issue the official license tag. The records and files of dog licenses shall be maintained in such a manner that the address of the recorded owner, custodian, or person having possession of the dog may be readily ascertained. (Ord. 2684 § 8, 2007: prior code § 57109)
It is unlawful for any person to place upon or attach to a dog any false, counterfeit or unauthorized tag for the purpose of evading the provisions of sections 6.04.010 through 6.04.130 of this chapter. The transfer of an official license tag from one dog to another is prohibited and any person so doing shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (Prior code § 57110)
A license which became due during the course of the year shall be subject to all the provisions of sections 6.04.010 through 6.04.130 of this chapter except the fee prescribed in section 6.04.080 of this chapter may be prorated to a portion of the license fee. (Ord. 2392 § 6, 1998: prior code § 57111)
Upon presentation of proof, satisfactory to the city's finance director, or the director's designee, that a valid license not to expire prior to June 30 has been issued by any city, county, or city and county within the state so as to comply with sections 6.04.140 and 6.04.150 of this chapter, a fee as set by resolution of the city council may be accepted and an application receipt issued therefor. Upon request and after verification that a current city license has been issued, the city's finance director, or the director's designee, shall accept the fee and issue an application receipt for the replacement of a lost, mutilated, or stolen tag. When issuing a replacement tag, the city's finance director, or the director's designee, shall cancel the original license and the tag authorized in connection with it. (Ord. 2684 § 8, 2007: prior code § 57112)
It is unlawful for any person to own, have an interest in, harbor and feed or have the care, charge, custody or possession of a dog, whether such dog is confined or not, unless such dog has been vaccinated with canine rabies vaccines licensed by USDA and approved by the department of health services for use in the California rabies control program, by injection or other approved method. The vaccine shall be used exclusively to vaccinate all dogs within the city upon reaching four (4) months of age. All dogs under four (4) months of age shall be confined to the owner's property until such time they are vaccinated. Regardless of the age of an animal's primary immunization, a second rabies vaccination shall be given one year later and the three (3) year booster schedule followed thereafter. The vaccination shall be performed by any duly qualified and licensed veterinarian. (Ord. 2392 § 7, 1998: prior code § 57200)
