Orland Park requires all dogs to be leashed in public spaces, with leashes no longer than 6 feet in most contexts. Off-leash use is allowed only in designated dog parks. Cook County requires dog rabies vaccination and licensing.
Orland Park's animal control code requires that any dog off the owner's property must be on a leash held by a person capable of controlling it. Leashes are generally limited to 6 feet in length in public areas. Off-leash dogs are only permitted in officially designated dog parks (Orland Park has dog-friendly areas at Centennial Park West and other locations). Dogs must wear a current Cook County rabies vaccination tag (county license required annually for dogs 4 months and older per Cook County ordinance). Owners must clean up dog waste immediately on public and private property. Aggressive or 'dangerous' dogs face additional restrictions including muzzle requirements. Contact Orland Park Animal Control at (708) 349-4111 or Cook County Animal Control at (708) 974-6140.
Off-leash violations typically cost $50-$100. Failure to clean up waste is often $50-$100. Unlicensed dogs face Cook County fines. Bites, attacks, or repeat offenses can result in $500+ fines and dangerous-dog designation.
