Every owner of a dog more than five months of age on January 1 of any year, or five months of age within the license year, shall annually or on or before the date the dog becomes five months of age pay the dog license tax and obtain a license. The license year commences on January 1 and ends on the following December 31.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
No dog licenses shall be issued for any dog until evidence has been presented that the dog is currently immunized against rabies.
Upon the issuance of a dog license, the Village Clerk-Treasurer or person deputized by him shall issue to the owner a license certificate and a metallic tag for each dog licensed. The shape of the tag shall be changed each year and shall have stamped thereon the year for which it was issued and the number corresponding with the number on the license certificate. Each owner shall be required to provide each dog with a collar to which the license tag shall be affixed and shall see that the collar and tag are constantly worn. In case a dog tag is lost or destroyed, a duplicate will be issued by the Village Clerk-Treasurer upon presentation of a receipt showing the payment of the license fee for the current year; no fee for a duplicate shall be charged per § 174.07(1)(f), Wis. Stats. Dog tags shall not be transferable from one dog to another, and no refunds shall be made on any dog license fee.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
No owner of a dog shall negligently or otherwise permit his dog to be untagged. A dog is considered to be untagged if a valid dog tag issued pursuant to § 130-10 is not attached to a collar which is kept on the dog whenever the dog is outdoors unless the dog is securely confined in a fenced yard.
Every dog specially trained to lead blind or deaf persons is exempt from the dog license tax, and every person owning such a dog shall receive annually a free dog license from the Village Clerk-Treasurer. Dogs whose owners are nonresidents temporarily within the Village or dogs brought into the Village for the purpose of participating in any dog show are exempt from the dog license tax.
