El Paso County requires dogs to be under control by their owner at all times in unincorporated areas. A leash law is in effect requiring dogs to be on a leash or under direct voice control when off the owner's property.
El Paso County Code Chapter 7 establishes leash and animal control requirements for unincorporated areas. Dogs must be under the control of their owner at all times. When off the owner's property, dogs must be on a leash or under direct and effective voice control. Dogs running at large can be impounded by El Paso County Animal Services. Repeat violations by the same dog/owner can result in escalating fines and a declaration of the animal as a 'dangerous dog' if it has bitten or threatened people. El Paso County Animal Services patrols unincorporated areas and responds to at-large animal complaints.
Dog at large: impoundment, owner citation, and impound fees. Repeat violations: escalating fines; potential dangerous dog designation.
