Barking dog rules in Kissimmee, 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.
Kissimmee has no barking-dog-specific section. Continuous barking is handled either under Sec. 22-25(a) (any noise plainly audible 15 feet from a residential property line between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.) or as an Osceola County animal nuisance complaint to the county Animal Services division.
City Code Chapter 6 (Animals) regulates running-at-large, kennels, and pens but contains no dedicated barking-dog provision. Sec. 6-20(c) makes domestic dogs running at large a nuisance, and Sec. 6-23 limits five or more dogs/cats to licensed kennels. Animal control inside Kissimmee is provided by Osceola County Animal Services (407-742-8000), which enforces county Ch. 4 animal nuisance rules. For nighttime barking, KPD applies the city Sec. 22-25(a) plainly-audible-at-15-feet standard. Florida HSC §767 still controls dangerous-dog determinations, and breed-specific regulation is preempted by F.S. §767.14.
Sec. 22-25(a) violations are noncriminal infractions on the Sec. 1-22(b)(8) sliding scale ($50/$100/$250/$500 within 12 months). County animal nuisance citations carry separate Osceola County fines and may require sworn complainant testimony.
