It is unlawful for any person to operate or maintain any commercial animal establishment
without first obtaining a permit. An annual permit fee may be established by separate
resolution of the town council. Such permit shall expire on the last day of the twelfth
month from the date of issue. In the event that application for renewal is not made
on or before the date of expiration, a delinquency charge, as may be established by
separate resolution of the town council, may be assessed. For every calendar month
of delinquency, an additional fee may be assessed if such a fee is established by
separate resolution of the town council.
The animal services agency shall, in connection with the issuance of any such permit,
establish such conditions as may be necessary to provide for the humane care and treatment
of animals. The animal services agency may deny or revoke such permit when necessary
to insure public safety and the humane care or treatment of animals.
