Barking dog rules in Montebello, CA — also called nuisance dog, dog noise, or excessive barking ordinances — define when a barking dog becomes a code violation and how complaints are handled.
Montebello Municipal Code Section 9.08.050(E) declares the keeping of any animal or bird that, by frequent or long-continued noise, disturbs the comfort and repose of nearby persons to be a loud and raucous noise and a public nuisance.
Barking dogs and animal noise in Montebello are addressed under Section 9.08.050(E), within the loud-and-raucous-noise chapter. It declares the keeping of any animal or bird which, by causing frequent or long-continued noise, disturbs the comfort and repose of persons in the vicinity to be loud or raucous noise. Because Section 9.08.010 makes any loud or raucous noise a public nuisance, a persistently barking dog can be abated. The Section 9.08.030 standard also applies: the noise must disturb a reasonable person, and two or more complaints are prima facie evidence. Montebello sets no fixed number of minutes. Because Montebello uses Los Angeles County animal-control services, chronic-barking complaints may also go through the county process.
Frequent or long-continued animal noise disturbing neighbors is loud and raucous and, under Section 9.08.060, a misdemeanor or infraction and a public nuisance. Two or more complaints establish prima facie evidence. Chronic cases may be abated under Chapter 8.16.
