Aurora prohibits feeding wildlife that creates nuisance conditions. Trash must be secured to prevent wildlife encounters. The Fox River corridor attracts coyotes, deer, and other wildlife requiring management.
Aurora's property maintenance and animal codes address wildlife feeding and encounters. Feeding wildlife that creates nuisance conditions for neighbors is subject to code enforcement action. Trash containers must be secured to prevent raccoons, coyotes, and other animals from scattering refuse. The Fox River corridor running through downtown Aurora supports diverse wildlife including deer, coyotes, foxes, and various bird species. The city works with the Kane County Animal Control and IL Department of Natural Resources on wildlife management issues. Residents should report aggressive coyotes or other wildlife to animal services.
Nuisance conditions from feeding: code violation. Unsecured trash attracting wildlife: property maintenance citation.
