The total number of fowl and rabbits maintained on a residential property is restricted to 25, except up to 100 pigeons provided that the animals are kept at least 50 feet from any residence. Having more than six dogs at a residence is considered a kennel, and is not permitted in residential zones. Dogs bark excessively for numerous reasons such as loneliness, frustration, frequent neighborhood activity, hyperactivity, etc. If the dog barks because of frequent neighborhood activity, try to remove the dog from the activity. Consider keeping the dog in the house or garage whenever possible or keeping a dog in a location isolated from the source of disturbances .
Dogs frequently bark while left outside alone on the property.
If you must leave the dog unattended, keep the dog inside the garage or house whenever possible. Consult your veterinarian on the possible causes for the barking. Roosters can be kept in a well-ventilated box during nighttime hours so that the rooster cannot raise his head to crow. If the amount of animal noise cannot be reduced, the animal must be removed from the property. Upon receipt of a complaint, the Neighborhood Code Compliance Department sends a voluntary compliance letter to the animal owner requesting that the noise be reduced.
