Barking dog rules in Cherry Hill, NJ — also called nuisance dog, dog noise, or excessive barking ordinances — define when a barking dog becomes a code violation and how complaints are handled.
Camden County's ordinance defines a barking-dog noise disturbance as a dog barking continually for 10 minutes, or intermittently for 30 minutes, across a residential property line, unless the dog was provoked.
Section 6.2.3 prohibits owning, possessing, or harboring any pet animal or bird that frequently or for continued duration makes sounds creating a noise disturbance across a residential real property line. The ordinance sets a bright-line test: a barking-dog disturbance is a dog 'barking continually for ten (10) minutes or intermittently for thirty (30) minutes unless provoked.' Enforcement and any additional dog-nuisance rules can also come from your municipality's animal-control code.
Prohibited act; summons or abatement order by noise control officer; up to $3,000 per offense with each day a separate violation.
