Dogs in the Village of Indiantown must be restrained by a leash, chain, or other similar device whenever off the owner's property, under Martin County Code Sec. 9.90 (adopted by Indiantown through the Transition Code). Working and hunting dogs under direct voice command of the owner are exempt.
Indiantown enforces Martin County Code Ch. 9 (Animals). Sec. 9.90 prohibits dogs from running at large and requires a physical restraint - leash, chain, or similar device - whenever the dog is off the owner's premises. The chapter also includes detailed tethering rules: dogs may only be tethered when in visual range of a responsible adult who is outside with the dog; tethers must be at least 10 feet long or 5 times the length of the animal (whichever is greater); the dog must have access to water, shade, and dry ground; tethering of sick, injured, or very young/old dogs is prohibited. Martin County adopted an updated dangerous-dog ordinance in 2024 that also applies in Indiantown.
Animal Services (Martin County Sheriff's Office) enforces Ch. 9 in Indiantown. Civil citations are typical for first leash violations; repeat offenders and dangerous-dog violations can be charged as misdemeanors under Fla. Stat. ch. 767. Animal Services may impound at-large dogs.
