Sec. 6-20(c) prohibits domestic dogs from running at large in Kissimmee. Osceola County Code Ch. 4 (which applies citywide) sets the leash standard — dogs must be under physical control (leashed or otherwise restrained) when off the owner's property.
Kissimmee's Sec. 6-20(c) declares 'running at large' of dogs a nuisance, with Sec. 1-22(b)(14) imposing $100 fines. Osceola County Animal Services enforces day-to-day leash and licensing rules under Osceola County Code Ch. 4 — including the requirement that dogs off the owner's property must be under physical control via leash. Sec. 6-26 prohibits dogs (or any animal) defecating in public places or on private property of others; owners must immediately remove and bag the waste. City parks under Sec. 28-50(7) require dogs to be leashed and under the handler's control, with exceptions for organized parks-and-rec programs. Florida F.S. §767 makes a dog owner strictly liable for bites in public places.
Sec. 1-22(b)(14) — $100 for animals running at large. Osceola County Animal Services citations carry separate fines, typically $50-$250 escalating. Repeat at-large dogs can be declared 'dangerous' under F.S. §767.12. Failure to remove waste under Sec. 6-26 is subject to general Code Enforcement penalties.
