Snow and ice shall be removed within 48 hours. If any owner shall fail or neglect to keep any sidewalk free of debris, dirt, sweepings, obstructions, snow or ice, the Village may proceed to clear such sidewalk and shall charge the expense, as defined by the Village Board in the village schedule of fees, thereof as a special tax against the premises to be collected as other taxes on real estate.

PET LICENSE
|
| PetData has sent the 2015 pet license renewal notices directly to your mailbox once again this year. Pet owners will have several options for renewing the licenses, including by mail or online. New pet owners or pet owners that did not receive a notice may also use the online licensing system. Pets must be licensed BEORE April 1, 2015 to avoid higher licensing fees and fines. Purchasing a license and attaching it to your pet's collar is one of the most important things that you can do as a responsible pet owner. Displaying the current license tag on your pet's collar makes it easy for Animal Control officers and shelter employees to quickly locate the lost pet's owner information. It just might be the fastest way to get your lost pet back home to the family! For more information, you can visit their website at www.petdata.com or call toll-free at 1-866-220-5551. |
