Logan, UT Animal Ordinances: Breed Restrictions (2026)

Logan's Comprehensive Animal Control title (Title 6A) defines its dangerous categories by what an animal has done. Under section 6A.02.030, a dangerous animal is one that, according to the records of animal control or another law enforcement/animal control agency, has inflicted a serious bite or physical injury on a human being, with or without provocation; has killed a domestic animal, with or without provocation, while off the owner's property; causes a domesticated animal to be euthanized due to injury it inflicted; or was previously found potentially dangerous and subsequently aggressively bites, attacks, or endangers the safety of a human or domestic animal. A potentially dangerous animal is one that chases or approaches a person on streets, sidewalks, or public grounds in a threatening or menacing fashion, has a known propensity to attack, or, because of witnessed and documented action, is believed capable of causing injury. A vicious animal is a dangerous or potentially dangerous animal that presents a continued threat to a person, property, or another animal. None of these definitions or the sections quoted here names a breed.

Section 6A.08.150 requires the owner of a potentially dangerous animal to use all reasonable means at his or her disposal to restrict it from injuring any other person or animal. Section 6A.08.160 is stricter for a dangerous animal: the kennel-type enclosure must be designed to prevent the entry of children, prevent escape, have secure sides, top, and foundation that prevent burrowing, and protect the animal from the elements. Outside the enclosure the animal must be under immediate control of a responsible adult by a restraint device and must be muzzled. Section 6A.04.030(D) gives animal control the job of issuing the determination, applying reasonable restriction, and monitoring the animal. Section 6A.08.140(D) says abatement by relocation is not a viable option for animals that bite or are a serious threat, such as a vicious dog.
