               Upon receipt of a written application for a permit to keep a wild or vicious animal,
               the animal control officer shall inform the applicant in writing if the enclosure
               standards for each type of animal are different from the construction standards proposed
               and shall notify the county manager who will report the application to the board of
               county commissioners. Upon the construction of the enclosures specified, the animal
               control officer shall promptly inspect the primary enclosure and the secondary enclosure
               intended for the keeping or harboring of any wild or vicious animals.

               <p class="content2">
                  If the animal control officer shall determine that the proposed enclosure is reasonably
                  and sufficiently secure to harbor and safely keep the wild or vicious animal proposed
                  to be kept, and meets all specifications set forth in this article, and the applicant
                  certifies that he has all necessary state and federal permits, and that the applicant
                  is otherwise qualified, he shall issue a permit authorizing the applicant to locate
                  said wild or vicious animal in said enclosure. No wild or vicious animal shall be
                  brought into or kept in the county until after the permit is issued by the county
                  and received by the applicant.

                  If the animal control officer shall determine that the proposed enclosure is not reasonably
                  or sufficiently secure to harbor or keep the wild or vicious animal applied for or
                  that it fails to meet the specifications set forth herein, he shall notify the applicant
                  of any defects or irregularities which make said enclosure insecure. The applicant
                  may cause such defects to be remedied and request another inspection by the animal
                  control officer.
