(a) Upon receipt of a proper application and the
prescribed license tax, the treasurer shall issue a dog license; provided
that no such license shall be issued for any dog, unless there is presented
to the treasurer a certificate of vaccination, or other evidence
satisfactory to the treasurer that such dog has been inoculated or
vaccinated against rabies by a currently licensed veterinarian or a
currently licensed veterinarian technician who was under the immediate and
direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian on the premises issued
pursuant to section 4-69 of this article in accord with the provisions of
such section. Upon issuance of the license, the treasurer shall make
notation of the date of issuance of the license on the certificate of
vaccination or other document, and return the certificate or other document
to the applicant. It shall be unlawful for any person to present a
certificate of vaccination for a dog other than that for which it was
issued.
(b)
Each dog license shall consist of a license tax receipt and a metal tag.
Such receipt shall have recorded thereon the amount of the tax paid, the
name and address of the owner or custodian of the dog, the date of payment,
the year for which issued, the serial number of the tag and whether the
license is issued for a male, or a female, whether spayed or neutered, or
for a kennel. The metal tag issued hereunder shall be stamped or otherwise
permanently marked to show the name of the county and the calendar year for
which issued and shall bear a serial number.
(c)
The information thus received shall be retained by the treasurer,
open to public inspection, during the period for which such license is valid. The
treasurer may establish substations in convenient locations in the county and appoint
agents for the collection of the license tax and issuance of such licenses.
