§ 9-7. Issuance of licenses and tags; substitute tags.

The owner of every dog shall pay the license fees hereinbefore provided to the Borough Clerk on or before the last day of January in each year, and upon receipt of said license fee or fees, as the case may be, the Borough Clerk shall thereupon issue to each person paying such license fee or fees a license for the keeping of such dog or dogs, which license shall contain the name and address of the owner of such dog or dogs and a description of the dog, indicating name, breed, sex, age and markings, and also the number of such license, and shall bear the signature of the Borough Clerk. All such licenses shall expire on the last day of January in each year. The Borough Clerk shall also issue for each dog licensed a numbered metal tag, designated as a registration tag, which tag shall be securely attached to a strap or collar worn around the neck of each dog so licensed, and each tag shall have marked thereon the words "Licensed Dog, Paulsboro, N.J.," with the year for which it is issued. The Borough Clerk may issue substitute tags upon proof, in writing, from the owner or member of the owner's household above the age of 14 years, sufficient to satisfy the Borough Clerk of the loss of the original tag. Any owner so obtaining such substitute tag or tags shall pay an additional registration fee of $0.50 for each and every substitute tag. All license forms and registration tags shall be issued in accordance with N.J.S.A. 4:19-15.3.
