Sec. B31-36. Issuance of license.

(a) Upon payment of the license fee, presentation of a valid certificate of vaccination for rabies by a duly licensed doctor of veterinary medicine, and, when required, presentation of a dangerous dog registration and a valid certificate of public liability insurance from an insurer licensed to practice in the State of California, the Manager shall issue a license which identifies:

(1) The name and residence of the person to whom the license is issued;

(2) The amount paid;

(3) The date of issuance thereof;

(4) The date of expiration of the vaccination;

(5) The date of expiration of the dangerous dog registration, if applicable;

(6) The date of expiration of the public liability insurance, if applicable;

(7) A description of the dog for which the license is issued.

(b) With each dog license, the Manager shall issue a metal tag bearing an identifying number and the words "Santa Clara Co. Dog Lic.". Each dog shall wear the metal tag issued for it at all times except when being shown at a dog show, exhibition or event. In the event it is necessary to issue a duplicate tag, a fee, fixed by resolution of the Board of Supervisors, shall be charged to the owner/guardian. It shall be unlawful for any person to attach a metal tag issued pursuant to this subsection to any dog other than the dog for which it was issued. In lieu of the metal tag, the Manager may allow use of the transponder identification chip, provided that the chip has been approved by the Manager and has been inserted in the dog according to the manufacturer's specifications.

(c) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), above, the Manager may refuse to issue or renew a license when such refusal is deemed reasonably necessary to protect public health, safety and property.

(Ord. No. NS-300.745, § 1, 5-2-06)
