Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a dog owner in the City of Batavia, it’s essential to understand your role in keeping our community safe and clean. The City of Batavia Municipal Code (BMC) outlines specific regulations to ensure the well-being of both humans and animals. By following these guidelines, you can be a responsible dog owner and contribute to a harmonious community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Licenses and Vaccinations<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to BMC Section 40-11, all dogs over four months old must be licensed and vaccinated against rabies. Make sure to obtain a license from the City Clerk’s office and keep your dog’s vaccination records up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leash Laws <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BMC Section 40-5\u00a0states that dogs must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet in length when in public. This ensures the safety of both your dog and others in the community. Always keep your dog on a leash when walking them in public areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waste Disposal <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a responsible dog owner, it’s crucial to clean up after your pet. BMC Section 40-6\u00a0requires dog owners to immediately dispose of their dog’s waste in a sanitary manner. Always carry poop bags with you and dispose of waste properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise Control <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BMC Section 40-6\u00a0prohibits excessive dog noise that disturbs the peace. Be considerate of your neighbors and take steps to minimize your dog’s barking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be a Responsible Neighbor<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these guidelines, you can help maintain a safe and enjoyable community for everyone. Remember, being a responsible dog owner is not only a legal obligation but also a moral responsibility to your neighbors and your pet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
