Grove City has no breed-specific legislation. Ohio removed breed-specific language from state law in 2012 under HB 14, and dangerous-dog determinations are now made based on individual behavior under ORC 955.11.
Any dog in Grove City can be declared nuisance, dangerous, or vicious based on its documented behavior, not its breed. Owners of dogs classified as dangerous must carry 100,000 dollars in liability insurance, use a chain-link kennel or secure enclosure, and leash and muzzle the dog in public per ORC 955.22. Franklin County Municipal Court handles classification appeals. Homeowners insurance carriers may still impose breed restrictions separately.
