Fresno County Ordinance Code Title 6 Chapter 6.04 requires dogs to be restrained on a leash no longer than 6 feet when off the owner's property. Dogs at large are subject to impoundment by Fresno County Animal Control.
Fresno County Code §6.04.090 prohibits dogs running at large. Licensing required for dogs 4+ months under §6.04.050, consistent with CA Food & Ag Code §30500+. Rabies vaccination mandatory. Unincorporated county areas are patrolled by Fresno County Animal Services, based in Fresno. Rural ranch dogs working livestock under owner control are typically exempted. Leash enforcement is complaint-driven in agricultural areas.
First impound: ~$45 fee plus $15/day boarding. Unlicensed dog: $50+ citation. Repeat at-large: escalating fines; potential dangerous dog designation under §6.04.200.
