Excessive dog barking is defined as any continuous barking that lasts for more than 10 minutes or any barking occurring at least four times in a 24-hour period.
Generally speaking, the HOA has the right to determine the number of pets allowed in their community (or the number of pets allowed in each home) and the type of pets permitted.
An HOA can enforce pet limits in the community. Your HOA dog rules can have limitations on breed, the number of pets, and maximum size or weight.
Dogs must be properly licensed and vaccinated. Tags must be visible at all times. Dogs must be leashed entering and leaving off-leash area. Owners must be in verbal control at all times and prevent aggressive behavior, biting, fighting, or excessive barking.
Being arrested solely for a dog barking too much is unlikely, but excessive barking can lead to legal issues such as fines or orders to remedy the situation, especially if it violates local noise ordinances. Persistent issues might result in legal action if they significantly disrupt the community.
It shall be unlawful for any owner or keeper to harbor any dog which barks repetitively during any given one-hour period, or which barks continuously for a period of 15 consecutive minutes or more, and which is audible on any adjacent property or public right-of-way.
All dogs must be licensed when you buy or adopt them (earliest is 8 weeks old) or 3 months of age, whichever comes first, by Jan. 1 of each year. Licenses are issued by the County Treasurer. All dogs must be under control and must not be allowed to run at large.
All dogs three months or older must be licensed by January 1 of each year.
