Naperville addresses wildlife management through property maintenance and animal control codes. Feeding wildlife that creates nuisances may result in code enforcement action. Residents must secure trash to prevent wildlife encounters.
Naperville addresses wildlife management through a combination of property maintenance and animal control provisions. While no specific ordinance bans feeding all wildlife, creating conditions that attract nuisance wildlife (leaving food out, unsecured garbage, feeding deer or coyotes) may result in code enforcement action under property maintenance or nuisance provisions. Garbage containers must be sturdy enough to prevent spills and animal intrusion. The city manages urban wildlife including deer, coyotes, and geese through its environmental programs. Naperville has conducted managed deer culling programs in some areas to address overpopulation. Wild animals may not be kept as pets without a state permit under Section 10-4-15. Residents should report aggressive wildlife to the police non-emergency line.
Creating wildlife nuisance conditions: code enforcement notice. Keeping wild animals: violation of §10-4-15. Unsecured trash attracting wildlife: property maintenance violation.
