Animal Issues
Animal noise annoyance
It is a misdemeanor for a person owning or possessing an animal to allow said animal to bark, yelp, bray, or make other noises in such a matter that it becomes an annoyance because of the duration or repetition of the noise.
Animals-at-Large
It is against the law to let your animals roam free within the city limits. Dogs must be restrained by a leash unless confined on or within the owner’s property.
