All pets (as defined above) must be licensed with the City as soon as they reach four months of age. Pets of any age that are acquired by North Liberty residents must be licensed with the City.

Owners may retrieve their pet only after the impound, boarding, delinquent license fees and fine for municipal infraction are paid in full.
