Exotic animal ownership in unincorporated Arapahoe County is governed primarily by Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations. A Commercial Wildlife Park License is required for native wildlife or exotic animals not on the state's unregulated wildlife list.
Arapahoe County does not have a standalone exotic pet ordinance for unincorporated areas. Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulates exotic animal possession statewide. A Commercial Wildlife Park License is required to possess any native wildlife or exotic animals not on the state's unregulated wildlife list. Unregulated species such as certain reptiles and small mammals do not require special licensing. Animals on the regulated list require appropriate permits before possession. Transportation of exotic animals has additional requirements. The county's animal services resolution primarily addresses dogs and pet animals. Exotic animals causing a public safety concern may be addressed through general nuisance enforcement by the Sheriff's Office.
Possessing regulated wildlife without proper CPW permits is a state violation with penalties including fines and confiscation of animals.
