Upon transfer of ownership of a licensed instrument or upon the removal of such instrument out of the corporate limits of the City, the license and registration of such instrument shall expire and the original owner in case of a sale or owner in case of a transfer outside of the corporate limits shall, remove the registration slip or sticker.
