§ 14-35. Impoundment fees.
An impound fee as specified in section 14-52 shall be charged when any animal is picked up by the supervisor of animal health and public safety and transported to the animal shelter or other city-designated place of impoundment. The fee for the care of any animal during the period of impoundment shall be at the rate specified in section 14-52; however, such fee shall be increased by the actual amount of any unusual expenses, including the fee for providing a rabies vaccination, incurred in either the impoundment or the care of the animal. An owner or keeper must pay these fees in full to obtain custody of his animal, but this payment is not required for animal adoption.
