Coral Springs Chapter 4 requires all dogs to be on a leash not exceeding 10 feet when on public streets, public places, or property other than the owner's. Dogs found at large may be seized and impounded, and owners face citations with civil penalties up to $500.
Under Coral Springs Code of Ordinances Chapter 4 (Animal Control), every person having custody or control of any dog must keep it securely fastened to a leash not exceeding 10 feet in length and maintain control of the leash and animal at all times when on public streets, public places, or property other than the owner's. It is unlawful to tie, chain, or tether an animal so that it has access to public property or another person's property without that owner's consent. Any animal found at large by an officer may be seized and impounded. As an alternative or in addition to impoundment, the officer may issue a citation. Broward County Animal Care also has jurisdiction over animal enforcement in the city.
At-large violations result in citations with civil penalties up to $500 per offense. Animals may be impounded. Owners must pay impoundment fees plus daily boarding costs to reclaim animals. Repeat violations face escalating fines through the code enforcement board.
