Overland Park restricts the keeping of wild, exotic, and dangerous animals within city limits. Venomous reptiles, large predators, primates, and certain other species are prohibited as pets.
Overland Park's animal ordinance restricts the keeping of wild, exotic, and dangerous animals as pets. Prohibited animals generally include venomous snakes, large cats, bears, wolves, primates, and crocodilians. Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism also regulates wildlife possession. Some non-traditional pets like ferrets, hedgehogs, and certain small reptiles may be allowed with proper containment. Owners of permitted exotic animals must ensure secure enclosures preventing escape. The city can order removal of animals that pose safety concerns.
Keeping prohibited animals results in seizure and fines. Escaped dangerous animals may be destroyed if they threaten public safety.
