Doylestown Borough has no breed-specific legislation (BSL). No pit bull or other breed bans found in the municipal code. PA Dog Law does not preempt local BSL, but the Borough has not enacted any. All dogs subject to general leash and nuisance rules.
Doylestown Borough does not have breed-specific legislation (BSL) restricting any particular dog breed. The Borough's animal ordinance (Chapter 2) applies equally to all breeds and focuses on leash requirements, at-large provisions, nuisance behavior, and cruelty prevention. Pennsylvania's Dog Law (3 P.S. §459-101+) does not preempt municipalities from enacting breed bans, but Doylestown Borough has chosen not to do so. All dogs regardless of breed must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the owner's property and properly licensed annually through the county treasurer.
Standard leash and nuisance violations apply to all breeds equally.
