to the Town Clerk's office a dog license application, together
with the license application fee, any applicable license surcharges
and such additional fees as may be established by the Town Board of
the Town of Concord. Each license application shall be accompanied
by proof that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies or a statement
from a licensed veterinarian that such vaccination would endanger
the dog's life in which case vaccination shall not be required.

municipality in Erie County moves into the Town of Concord, he/she
must obtain an identification tag from the Town Clerk's office
within 30 days. In such instance, there will be no additional fee
owing to the Town of Concord until such time as the license from the
other municipality expires.

Each dog licensed by the Town shall be assigned, at the time the
dog is first licensed, a municipal identification number. Such identification

shall be affixed to a collar on the dog at all times. The Town may
exempt dogs participating in a dog show during such participation
from this requirement.
