Animal Control may not have a leash law but having your dogs leashed is highly encouraged. Leashed pets can promote safety, unwanted pet vs human conflicts, losing a pet, and liability.
Community Associations
Many apartment communities and homeowners’ associations have their own rules regulating their residents and their pets. Animal Control will only enforce the County resolution and cannot enforce these regulations if they are different.
Animal Control will educate any dog owner regarding their dog running at large at the request of another neighbor. Often times an owner may not be aware of what is considered running at large. If an education has already happened and there continues to be a problem, a summons and complaint may be issued with a complaining party and a witness signature to the incident. Please see
County Resolution for additional information.
