Useful Reminders for Pet Owners:
• Pet licenses are required for puppies and kittens over four months old and can be purchased online at www.bhamgov.org/petlicense, by mail or in person at the Clerk’s Office.
• All dogs must be on a chain or leash and under reasonable control of some person at all times. A dog cannot go beyond the premises of its owner unless restrained by a chain or leash and under reasonable control.
• Owners cannot allow animals to deposit fecal matter in any place other than the premises where the animal is harbored or kept, unless it is immediately collected and removed. Also, please remember dog waste should be collected with a bag and disposed of in your garbage container, not your yard waste bin.
• If a person is walking an animal on property they do not own, whether public or private, they must have an appropriate device for the collection of fecal matter in their immediate possession and an appropriate depository for the transmission of fecal matter to the premises where the animal is harbored or kept.
• No person shall harbor or keep any dog which, by loud or frequent or habitual barking, yelping or howling, causes a serious annoyance to the neighborhood, or to people passing on the street.
