Goodyear has no breed-specific legislation. Arizona law (ARS 11-1025) classifies dogs as dangerous based on individual behavior, not breed. HOAs may restrict breeds through CC&Rs.
The City of Goodyear does not ban or restrict specific dog breeds. Arizona takes a behavior-based approach under ARS 11-1025, classifying individual dogs as dangerous based on their actions. HOAs in master-planned communities may independently restrict breeds or sizes through CC&Rs. Insurance carriers may also exclude certain breeds from coverage.
Dangerous dogs under ARS 11-1025 face mandatory secure enclosure, warning signs, and liability insurance requirements.
