The text
A.
Upon payment of a license fee, the supervisor shall issue to the owner a receipt and tag for each animal licensed. The tag shall have stamped thereon the license number corresponding with the tag number on the certificate. The owner shall attach the tag to the collar or harness of the animal and see that the collar and tag are worn at all times. Failure to attach the tag as provided is a violation of this chapter, except for police service dogs.
B.
Exception for Cats. In lieu of requiring a collar and tag, a cat owner may request that the division implant a microchip in the animal. The microchip shall contain owner and licensing information.
C.
Tags and licenses are non-transferrable between animals. No refunds shall be made on any dog license fee for any reason whatsoever. Replacements for lost or destroyed tags shall be issued upon payment of an administrative fee to the supervisor.
D.
Any person removing or causing to be removed the collar, harness or tag from any licensed animal without the consent of the owner or keeper thereof, except a veterinarian or animal control officer who removes such for medical or other reasons, shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.
