Tigard delegates dog control to Washington County Animal Services. Title 6, Chapter 6.04 requires any dog off its owner's property to be on a physical leash no longer than seven feet, controlled by a capable handler.
Washington County Code Title 6 (Animals), Chapter 6.04 governs animal control countywide and applies inside Tigard because the city does not run its own animal program. The seven-foot leash rule applies whenever a dog is off its owner's property. Off-leash use is allowed only on private property with permission or at designated off-leash dog parks. Tigard TMC Chapter 7.52 separately requires leashes in city parks except in designated off-leash areas. Animal Services may impound at-large dogs at the Bonnie L. Hays Shelter; owners pay impound and boarding fees.
Failure to leash an off-property dog is enforced by Washington County Animal Services. Penalties include impound and daily boarding fees, county citation fines, and additional charges if the dog is unlicensed. Aggressive cases escalate under dangerous-dog provisions.
