Section 6.20.020 requires horses, mules, cattle, burros, goats, sheep, swine, and poultry to be kept in a pen or similar enclosure to prevent roaming at large. Animal Control may impound livestock running at large.
Lake Havasu City Code § 6.20.020 covers all livestock and poultry. The defining standard is whether the animal is confined: a pen, fence, corral, or similar enclosure that prevents escape onto public roadways or neighboring property. Most residential zones do not permit large livestock as a primary use — they are typically limited to rural-residential districts identified in Title 14. Owners of impounded livestock are liable for impound, boarding, and notice costs.
Civil citation plus impound/boarding fees. Repeated escape incidents may lead to criminal nuisance charges under Title 6.
