Upon payment of the license fee and any penalties due, the Finance Department shall issue to the person making the payment a license and a tag bearing the serial number and year for which the license is issued.
The license tag must, in all cases and at all times, be fastened to a substantial collar worn around the neck of the dog for which it was issued. Whenever a tag issued for the then current year has been stolen or lost, the owner of the dog for which the tag was issued may, upon the payment of a fee in an amount which shall be set by resolution of the City Council, obtain a replacement tag for the animal. Fees for replacement shall be set on an annual basis upon the recommendation of the Finance Department. (Ord. 97-5, 8-18-1997)
