What happens if I don't get a license for my pet?

City Ordinances require all dogs and cats, over the age of four (4) months, to be licensed.  Additionally, there is an ordinance that requires your pet to wear their license.  Enforcement will vary depending on the situation.  In most cases, if an animal control officer contacts you and your pet (for any number of reasons) and finds that the animal is not licensed, you will be issued an administrative citation.  The administrative citation can be issued as a warning only or may include a $100 fine if it is determined that the owner has previously been issued a warning.
