Irving discourages feeding wildlife that creates nuisance conditions. Feeding that attracts vermin or creates unsanitary conditions may be cited under nuisance provisions.
Irving does not have a standalone wildlife feeding ordinance but addresses the issue through general nuisance provisions. Feeding wildlife in a manner that creates unsanitary conditions, attracts vermin, or constitutes a nuisance to neighbors may be cited under Chapter 6 or Chapter 23 (Nuisances). In Irving parks, there may be posted restrictions on feeding wildlife. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulations govern interactions with protected wildlife species. Feral cat colony management (TNR programs) may be coordinated through Irving Animal Services. Property owners should not feed coyotes, feral hogs, or other animals that may pose a public safety risk.
Nuisance citations if feeding creates unsanitary conditions. Fines vary by severity.
