Arizona requires all dogs to be on a leash no longer than six feet whenever off the owner's property, and enforces statewide rabies licensing for dogs over three months old.
A.R.S. Section 11-1012 mandates that any dog off the owner's premises must be physically restrained on a leash not exceeding six feet, except in designated leash-free areas. A.R.S. Section 11-1008 requires licensing of all dogs over three months old, with proof of current rabies vaccination. A.R.S. Section 11-1014.01 imposes strict liability on owners whose dogs bite, regardless of prior vicious behavior. Counties handle licensing and enforcement, but the leash and bite-liability standards apply uniformly across all incorporated and unincorporated areas of Arizona.
Leash law violations are typically civil infractions with fines starting around $100. Strict liability for dog bites can result in significant civil damages.
