Pets
and Animals
The
Village has an Animal Control Ordinance
governing the types and numbers of pets and animals allowed
in a household. Following are some of the important items of
the Ordinance that residents should be aware of:
1)
There is a maximum limit per household of two (2) dogs or cats
of any one species, or a total not to exceed four (4), except
that any animal used as a bona fide Seeing Eye dog is not counted
in determining the number of animals in the household.
2)
The Village does not license cats or dogs; however, anyone who
keeps a dog or cat within Village limits must maintain a current
county license tag and rabies inoculation tag for each animal.
3)
Domestic animals are not permitted to run at large within the
Village.
4)
No person shall permit any animal to bark, cry or make other
distressing or loud or unusual noise or disturb the peace or
quiet of any neighborhood, family or person in the Village.
5)
The owner of every animal is responsible for immediate removal
and sanitary disposition of any excretion deposited by his animal
anywhere in the Village.
6)
No person may own, keep or harbor within the Village any snakes,
reptiles or lizards that are poisonous in nature, or any rodent
weighing more than one pound, with the exception of guinea pigs.
7)
Farm animals, such as horses, cattle, swine, and fowl are only
allowed on property zoned agricultural.
