Overland Park has no ordinance banning the feeding of deer or other wildlife. Feeding that draws rodents, creates odors, or annoys neighbors is reachable as a nuisance under Title 7, and the rat control chapter requires feed to be stored in ratproof containers.
Title 6 of the Overland Park Municipal Code covers dogs, cats, dangerous animals, chickens, bees, and equines, and contains no wildlife-feeding prohibition. OPMC 7.04.020 declares anything kept or maintained so as to be an injury or annoyance to the public a nuisance, and the Nuisance and Unsafe Structures Enforcement Act at 7.04.150 et seq. supplies notice, hearing, and abatement. OPMC 7.32.120 requires animal feed to be stored in ratproof containers, and 7.32.140 makes it unlawful to let material accumulate so it affords food or harborage for rats. For coyotes, OPMC 6.09.045 lets the Chief of Police authorize targeted trapping at a resident's or homes association's request. Deer population control in Johnson County parks runs through JCPRD archery management.
Nuisance conditions draw a notice of violation, city abatement with costs assessed to the property, and penalties under OPMC 1.12.010.
