Port Orange falls under Volusia County animal control regulations. Dogs must be under restraint when off the owner's property — secured by leash, confined in a vehicle, building, fence, or pen, or under voice control. Pet limits apply: generally four dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, or ferrets per dwelling.
Volusia County defines a dog under restraint as secured by leash, chain, rope, tether or cable/trolley, confined in a vehicle, building, fence, crate, pen, or controlled by voice command with the owner present. On Volusia County beaches where dogs are allowed, leashes must be 6 feet or shorter. Port Orange requires pet tags through the city's Animal Tags program. Generally, up to four dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, or ferrets are allowed per dwelling unit.
Leash violations carry fines of $50 for a first offense, $100 for a second, and $250 for subsequent offenses. Dogs at large may be impounded with retrieval fees of $50–$150. Failure to clean up waste is a $75 fine.
