Yuma City Code §130-003 prohibits dogs from being at large. Dogs must be confined to the owner's property or kept on a leash when off the property. Dogs may not be tied on public property unless supervised. Owners of at-large dogs may receive citations and fines.
Under Yuma City Code §130-003, no person shall allow a dog to be at large — running free off the owner's property without restraint. Dogs off the owner's property must be on a leash and under the control of a competent person. Dogs may not be tied or fastened to any object on public property unless attended by a person capable of controlling the animal. The Yuma Police Department Animal Control Services Unit enforces at-large laws. Arizona state law (ARS §11-1001+) also governs dog licensing and impoundment at the county level. All dogs over 3 months old must be licensed with Yuma County and vaccinated against rabies. Impounded at-large dogs may be held at the animal shelter, and owners must pay impound fees for retrieval.
Owners of at-large dogs may receive citations and fines. Impounded dogs require payment of impound and boarding fees for release.
