New State regulations regarding restraining an animal by chain or tether
New state regulations prohibit the restraint of an animal by a chain or other tether on a 24 hour basis.
Any animal found at large within the city limits is subject to impoundment. Dogs must be confined to the home owner's property or contained inside a structure or within a fenced area. Cats trespassing upon or damaging the property of others may be contained by the property owner and will also be impounded. Fees are charged for redemption and citations may be issued for offenders.
