Iredell County residents may call the animal control department and have certain nuisance or unwanted animals removed from their property. There is no charge for this service however the resident must be at home to sign a release for the animal to be picked up. The animal control department handles all domestic animals, exotic animals, and suspected rabid animals.
Most wild animals are under the control of North Carolina Wildlife.
The animal control department also conducts investigations involving animal bites and animal cruelty or neglect. Organized animal fighting needs to be reported to the sheriff's department or local police department. The animal owner will be responsible for having their own help to follow and capture their tranquilized animal. There is a redemption fee for every animal that the animal control department impounds. The fees are as follow.
