Do you know the city’s laws regarding animals?
The following is a condensed version of the city of Chattanooga Animal Ordinances details. The complete version, including fees, is found in Chapter 7 of the City Code or at www.mckameyanimalcenter.org.
• Leash law. You can’t take an unleashed animal onto anyone else’s property without his or her permission. Also, it’s against the law to allow an unleashed animal on most public property.
• Public nuisance. It’s against the law to allow your pet to turn over garbage cans, damage a flower (or vegetable) garden, threaten the safety of walkers, bicyclists or motorists.
