Centennial does not have breed-specific legislation. No dog breeds are banned. Colorado SB 04-079 provides partial preemption limiting breed-specific restrictions for insurance purposes. The city focuses on individual dog behavior and owner responsibility rather than breed bans.
Centennial does not enforce breed-specific legislation (BSL) and no dog breeds are banned within city limits. The city's approach focuses on individual dog behavior and owner responsibility rather than targeting specific breeds. Colorado SB 04-079 provides partial breed ban preemption, particularly for insurance purposes, preventing insurers from refusing coverage solely based on breed. All dogs regardless of breed must be licensed, vaccinated, and kept under control. Dangerous or aggressive dog behavior is addressed on a case-by-case basis through the city's animal control ordinances. Owners of any breed are responsible for their dog's behavior.
Dangerous dog behavior: handled case-by-case regardless of breed. Aggressive dogs may be subject to additional restrictions.
