Required. <br />It is unlawful for the owner of any dog six months of age or more to fail to obtain a license from the city <br />except as follows: <br />(1) Dogs confined to a city-licensed commercial kennel need not be individually licensed. <br />(2) Dogs confined to a city-licensed residential kennel shall be individually licensed but need not wear the <br />license tag while they are confined in the kennel. <br />(3) Dogs currently licensed by another jurisdiction may be temporarily kept in the city for a period not to <br />exceed 30 days, provided the dog wears a tag or other identification from such licensing jurisdiction, <br />and provided the current city license is obtained if the temporary stay extends beyond 30 days or <br />otherwise becomes permanent. Dogs licensed by other jurisdictions are not exempt from the kennel <br />licensing requirements or from any other provision of this article. <br />(Ord. No. 137 2nd series, § 9.12(3), 7-24-1995) <br />Sec. 62-132. Application. <br />All licenses shall be issued by the city; and applications shall be accompanied by a certificate issued by a <br />veterinarian licensed to practice in the state, showing that the dog is vaccinated against rabies for the duration of <br />the applied-for license. Should the rabies vaccination expire prior to the full term of the license, the owner is <br />responsible for updating such vaccination. No more than two dog licenses shall be issued to any one person or for <br />any one lot, property or address at any one time unless there shall first have been issued a current residential or <br />commercial kennel license for such person, lot property or address. <br />(Ord.
