Barking dog rules in Indiantown, FL — also called nuisance dog, dog noise, or excessive barking ordinances — define when a barking dog becomes a code violation and how complaints are handled.
Habitual barking and animal noise are addressed under Martin County Code Ch. 9 (Animals) and Ch. 67, Art. 10 (Noise) as applied to Indiantown through the Transition Code. Animal noise that disturbs the peace of persons of ordinary sensibilities is a nuisance.
Chapter 9 of the Martin County Code (which Indiantown adopted via its Charter Transition Code) regulates animals. Habitual howling, barking, or other animal noise that disturbs neighbors is enforceable as a nuisance and may also be cited under Ch. 67, Art. 10.
