LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 637

(a)  The county commissioners of the several counties
shall prepare, and furnish annually to the county treasurer,
and to the tax collecting officer, metal tags to be given
the owners of dogs when such owners shall pay the license
fee for said dogs. Such tags shall be of metal, and shall
have serial number corresponding with the number on the
license issued to said owner, as provided in § 191. Such
tags shall also have impressed thereon the calendar year for
which such tag is issued, and shall not be more than one
inch in length, and shall be equipped with a substantial
metal fastening device. The general shape of said tag shall
be changed from year to year, and the tags furnished owners
of kennels shall have the word "kennel" thereon. If any
such tag is lost it shall be replaced by the county
treasurer, or tax collecting office, upon application by the
person to whom the original license was issued, upon the
production of such license and payment of a fee of
twenty-five cents.

(b)  In Calvert County the tag may not be more than two
inches in length and shall cost 50 cents for a replacement
if the original is lost.

(C) IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE
DOG LICENSE, RATHER THAN A CALENDAR YEAR, SHALL BE IMPRESSED
ON THE TAG, AND THE SHAPE OF THE TAG MAY REMAIN UNCHANGED
FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

shall take effect July 1, 1982.
