Tinley Park requires all dogs to be leashed on a lead no longer than 6 feet when off the owner's property. Dogs must be licensed through Cook County or Will County, and owners must clean up pet waste. Violations result in fines starting around $50.
Tinley Park's animal control code requires dogs to be under physical restraint on a leash not exceeding 6 feet whenever off the owner's premises, including in parks, streets, and sidewalks. Dogs may be off-leash only in designated dog parks. Owners must clean up after their pets and carry waste-disposal materials. All dogs over 4 months old must be licensed through Cook County Animal and Rabies Control (or Will County for Will County residents) with current rabies vaccination. Dangerous or vicious dogs face additional confinement and insurance requirements. Dogs cannot be tethered outside unattended for extended periods. Contact Tinley Park Police at (708) 444-5300 or Cook County Animal Control at (708) 974-6140.
Leash law violations typically result in fines of $50 to $200 per offense. Failure to clean up waste carries similar fines. Unlicensed dogs face county enforcement action. Dog bite incidents can lead to vicious dog designation with stricter requirements and civil liability.
