Barking dog rules in Redondo Beach, 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.
RBMC 4-24.502 prohibits keeping any animal or fowl whose noise is audible at a complainant's property line for more than five minutes in any hour, treating persistent barking as a public nuisance.
Redondo Beach regulates barking dogs through RBMC 4-24.502 (Animals and fowl). No person may keep an animal or fowl that, by any sound or outcry, produces noise audible at the complainant's property line for more than five minutes in any hour. This duration-based standard, rather than a decibel reading, governs animal noise, and animal noise is expressly exempted from the general exterior/interior dBA limits (4-24.603). The Noise Control Officer (Chief of Police) investigates complaints. Persistent barking is declared a public nuisance under the chapter's general policy (4-24.101).
A violation is prima facie under 4-24.801. The NCO may issue an abatement order and a notice of violation (4-24.802-803); the nuisance may also be abated by injunction (4-24.804).
