Islip Town Code Chapter 15 requires dogs to be leashed (maximum 6 feet) on all public property including streets, parks, and beaches except in designated off-leash areas. Suffolk County Dog Control enforces alongside Town. Violations start at 50 dollars and escalate.
Leash law applies on Fire Island National Seashore beaches during piping plover nesting season (March 15 through Labor Day) with additional federal restrictions. Heckscher State Park and Bayard Cutting Arboretum have specific dog policies. Off-leash areas are limited to designated off-leash dog parks within the Town.
First offense 50 dollars, second 100 dollars, third 250 dollars. Off-leash dog causing injury may result in dangerous dog proceedings under Ag and Markets 123.
