  • Keeping of farm animals is prohibited within the city limits and horses are prohibited on the beach. The city is a bird sanctuary. It is unlawful to shoot, mistreat or abandon any animal. Animals are not allowed to become a nuisance by making excessive noise, fighting with other animals, being vicious to citizens and left to roam at large. Dog and cat bites must be reported to the Police Department within 24 hours. (270-2411).
  • Dogs must be on a leash not to exceed 12 feet in length and the leash must be held by the owner when off your property.
  • Every dog and cat over 4 months old must have a rabies vaccination every 12 months by a licensed veterinarian.
