Overland Park does not impose breed-specific bans. The city uses behavior-based dangerous animal provisions that apply to any dog that has bitten or shown aggressive behavior, regardless of breed.
Overland Park does not have breed-specific legislation. Instead, the city uses behavior-based dangerous dog provisions. Dogs that have bitten, attacked, or exhibited dangerous behavior may be declared potentially dangerous or dangerous regardless of breed. Owners of declared dangerous dogs must comply with enhanced containment requirements, carry liability insurance, and register with the city. Kansas state law also provides a framework for dangerous dog regulation based on behavior rather than breed.
Owners of dangerous dogs who fail to meet containment and insurance requirements face fines, impoundment, and potential euthanasia for severe cases.
