(A) Upon the payment of the license fee, the person designated by the licensing authority shall issue to the owner of a dog or cat a license certificate and a metallic tag for each dog or cat so licensed. The metallic tags shall be properly attached to the collar or harness of all dogs or cats so licensed and shall entitle the owner to keep or harbor the said animal until April 30 following such licensing.
(B) Dogs and cats must wear identification tags or collars at all times when off the premises of the owner. In the absence of a tag, the animal shall be regarded as a stray whenever off its owner's property.
(C) In the event that a license tag is lost and upon satisfactory evidence that the original plate or tag was issued in accordance with the provisions herein, the person designated by the licensing authority shall issue a duplicate or new tag for the balance of the year for which the license tax has been paid and shall charge and collect a fee set by resolution of the City Council for each 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 person designated by the licensing authority to issue tags of a suitable design that are different in appearance each year.
