§ 955.04.
(A) Every owner of a dog kennel shall, in like manner as provided in division (A) of section 955.02 of the Revised Code , make application for the registration of such kennel, and pay to the county auditor
a registration fee of ten dollars for each such kennel, unless a greater fee has been
established under section 955.14 of the Revised Code . If the application is not filed and the fee paid, on or before the thirty-first
day of January of each year, the auditor shall assess a penalty in an amount equal
to the registration fee upon the owner of such kennel. The payment of the kennel registration fee entitles the licensee to not more than
five tags, to bear consecutive numbers and to be issued in like manner and have like
effect when worn by any dog owned in good faith by such licensee as the tags provided
for in section 955.07 of the Revised Code . Upon application to the county auditor, additional tags, in excess of the five tags,
may be issued upon payment of an additional fee of one dollar per tag. (B) No owner of a kennel shall fail to register the kennel in accordance with this section. A violation of this division is a strict liability offense and section 2901.20 of the Revised Code does not apply. (C) Whoever violates division (B) of this section shall be fined not less than twenty-five
dollars or more than one hundred dollars on a first offense, and on each subsequent
offense shall be fined not less than seventy-five dollars or more than two hundred
fifty dollars and may be imprisoned for not more than thirty days.
