(a)
Application; Fee.
Application for initial issuance or renewal of each registration must be made by the owner in writing or in person and be accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) unless the cat or dog being registered has been neutered or spayed and proof of such surgical sterilization can be shown to an animal control officer or a veterinarian authorized to issue such registrations; then the fee will be seven dollars ($7.00). Veterinarians who issue registrations shall be entitled to retain three dollars ($3.00) from each fee to cover administrative cost. Dogs and cats under the age of one year shall be registered at the sterilized fee. Animals may be exempted from the sterilization provision upon written recommendation from a veterinarian that such alteration would be harmful or dangerous to the animal.
(b)
Duplicate Certificate.
If the original current registration certificate is lost or destroyed, the owner may obtain a duplicate registration from the chief of police by paying a fee of five dollars ($5.00).
