§ 25-1144. Manner of recording brands

Every stock grower whose brands are not recorded, desiring to use any brand on any livestock shall make and file an application setting forth a facsimile and description of the brand that he desires to use, which application shall state the post-office address and county of his residence, and he shall file such application with the state brand inspector and the same shall be recorded in a book kept for that purpose by the state brand inspector. From and after the filing of such application, the stock grower filing the same shall have the exclusive right to use such brand within the state of Idaho. Such recording shall be valid for a period of not more than five (5) years, as determined by rules of the state brand board, subject to the renewal provisions of section 25-1145 , Idaho Code. Such person, upon the filing of the brand, shall pay to the state brand inspector for recording the brand the sum of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) and the board may prorate the fee to facilitate implementation of a staggered brand renewal system. It shall be the duty of the state brand inspector to furnish without further or other charge, one (1) certified copy of the application to the owner thereof upon his request, and for each additional copy a fee of five dollars ($5.00) shall be assessed. The state brand inspector shall not file or record any such brand if the same has already been filed or recorded by him in favor of some other stock grower. The certified copy of the application shall contain the registration number of such brand, description or facsimile copy of the recorded brand, location of brand on the animal, expiration of the recorded brand and the name and address of the owner of the recorded brand. Upon a request to research a brand recording, a fee of thirty-six dollars ($36.00) per hour spent shall be paid to the state brand inspector.
