Grove City prohibits feeding of deer and other wildlife that creates a nuisance or attracts pests. Intentional deer feeding within city limits may also violate Ohio Division of Wildlife rules during chronic wasting disease response periods.
Grove City nuisance code authorizes citations for practices that attract rats, raccoons, or deer in ways that damage neighboring property. Franklin County is within the greater Columbus urban deer management area, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife discourages backyard deer feeding. Bird feeding is allowed but owners must clean up spilled seed if it draws rodents. Feeding of stray cats at a scale that creates a colony is discouraged.
