Corona requires dogs to be on a leash no more than 6 feet long when off the owner's property, in public spaces, and in city parks. Off-leash areas are limited to designated dog parks. Owners must clean up after their pets. Animal control is provided by Riverside County Department of Animal Services.
Riverside County Ordinance 630 (Animal Control), enforced in Corona by the Riverside County Department of Animal Services, requires all dogs to be under physical control of a competent handler when off the owner's property. The standard is a leash no longer than 6 feet, held by a person able to control the animal. Off-leash dogs in public areas, parks, sidewalks, and streets are subject to citation and possible impound. Designated off-leash dog parks (such as Butterfield Park dog area, where applicable) allow off-leash play within fenced enclosures. Dog owners are required to immediately collect and dispose of pet waste in public spaces β failure to do so is a separate citable offense. Dogs must wear a collar with current license tag at all times when off the owner's property. Licensing is required annually for all dogs four months and older, with proof of current rabies vaccination. Aggressive, threatening, or barking dogs may be reported to Animal Services for investigation. Repeat violations and bite incidents can result in dangerous dog hearings. Service animals are exempt from leash requirements where law permits, but must remain under control.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
