Landlords who rent their property may be responsible for their tenant`s dog or animals. Please remind tenants to keep their dogs and other pets quiet, as the landlord is ultimately responsible for paying fines. Please include noisy birds. Keep dogs barking inside, muzzled or trained not to bark, otherwise you risk being punished every time the police come to your home and hear dogs barking or noisy animals. To report an annoying animal under this order (dog barking or cat meowing), you must have affidavits from two unrelated people at different locations within 1,000 feet of the noise source. Please note: Our agency does not respond to anonymous complaints about annoying barking or whining dogs. Frequent barking, howling or grinding by a dog, cat or bird left outside on the deck or near an open window that can be heard at a distance of one hundred feet (100) from the building, structure or yard where the animal is located is a violation of the Noise Ordinance. The Palm Beach County Order allows an animal control officer to investigate an alleged complaint regarding dog barking after providing two (2) affidavits to the Animal Care and Control Department. Affidavits must be completed and signed by at least two (2) non-relatives living in separate apartments in close proximity to the alleged violation. If there is no second neighbour willing to participate, the by-law allows the second affidavit to be completed by a person working for a recognized business or agency that regularly or frequently provides services in close proximity to the alleged violation.
Barking dogs or noisy birds may violate Regulation 21-28(c). If you wish to report a potential noise violation, you can call the Miami-Dade Police Department`s non-emergency line at (305) 476-5423. The Neighbourhood Resource Unit will respond and approach accordingly. Once the police arrive at the offender`s home and hear the dogs or animals, they can automatically impose a $100 fine. Failure to pay the fine will result in a lien on the house. If the owner refuses to correct the situation, proceed to saving the information. We need three witnesses who live in separate apartments to sign the trial. Make sure all information is complete. Points 24 to 28 are intended to record as many cases as possible, but the policy requires at least 2 episodes for non-noise offences and for 3 noise-related offences. If you have any questions, you can call Animal Control: Key West, 305-294-4857; Marathon. 305-743-4800; or Key Largo, 305-451-0088 for more information.

Animal Control assists in processing paperwork during normal business hours. If only one person is able to come forward, an uninterrupted and unedited timestamp recording of the sound of a single incident must be attached to an affidavit and submitted with the affidavit. This does not apply to animal shelters, commercial animal shelters or lands designated for agricultural purposes. State law prohibits the application of noise abatement orders to these farm properties. Farm animals on the loose can be reported by calling non-emergency police at 305-4-POLICY or 305-476-5423. Animal welfare officials will investigate the complaint based on the following guidelines: If you or someone else has been bitten by a dog, seek medical attention immediately. Call 911 if your injury is serious. Farm animals are animals kept for agricultural purposes. Animals raised as livestock in an agricultural environment can be cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, horses and pigs. When farm animals leave and leave their pens, they can become a significant traffic or safety risk.

Before completing an affidavit, make sure the pet owner is aware that there is a situation that you believe meets the requirements of the law and policy, as outlined on this page.

Complaints will be investigated by an animal control officer upon receipt of a completed affidavit. Residents filing the complaint must also be present in court if the complaint is filed in support of the affidavit filed.
