Pompano Beach, FL Animal Ordinances: Bird Protection (2026)

08 names a specific parcel, the unnumbered lot west of lot seven and south of lot eight of block two of the Jelks subdivision, as Indian Mound Park, and declares it a bird sanctuary. 03, showing the sanctuary designation has stood for decades without repeal. The operative language is narrow and absolute: any person, firm, or corporation that wilfully destroys or harms any bird within the park's boundaries is guilty of an offense, with no carve-out for pest species, nuisance birds, or accidental harm distinguished in the text beyond the willfulness element.

99, which applies whenever the code declares conduct unlawful without stating a specific fine. That section authorizes a fine up to $500, imprisonment up to 60 days, or both for each offense, and treats each day a violation continues as a separate offense, though no penalty may exceed what state law imposes for comparable conduct. 09, which regulate vessel mooring and docking near the same waterfront park complex rather than the bird protection itself.
