Bolingbrook enforces dog leash and licensing requirements through its Animal Control division within the Police Department. Dogs must be leashed in public areas and vaccinated against rabies per the Illinois Animal Control Act (510 ILCS 5). Three full-time Animal Control Officers enforce state and local animal laws.
Bolingbrook's leash law requires all dogs in public areas of city limits to be on a leash of 6 feet or shorter, or under immediate voice control of the handler. Dogs must be licensed and vaccinated per Illinois law. Owners are responsible for cleaning up pet waste on public and private property. Some city parks may designate off-leash areas with specific rules. Dangerous or aggressive dogs may face additional restraint requirements including muzzling. Bolingbrook Animal Control enforces leash laws and responds to dog-at-large complaints.
Leash violations carry fines of $50 for a first offense, $100 for a second, and $250 for subsequent offenses. Dogs at large may be impounded with retrieval fees of $50–$150. Failure to clean up waste is a $75 fine.
