Tulsa enforces breed-specific legislation under Title 2. American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and mixes of these breeds are subject to additional regulations. Owners must register these breeds with the city and keep them on a leash and muzzled in public. Oklahoma state law does not preempt breed-specific ordinances, allowing cities to ban or restrict breeds.
Oklahoma does not preempt breed-specific legislation. Cities CAN and DO enact breed bans and restrictions. Several Oklahoma cities have banned or restricted pit bulls (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier) and other breeds. This makes Oklahoma notable among states for allowing breed bans. 4 O.S. §44 et seq. also provides for behavior-based dangerous dog designations. Check Tulsa ordinance carefully for any breed-specific provisions.
Failure to comply with breed-specific requirements may result in fines and seizure of the animal.
