Barking dog rules in San Angelo, TX — also called nuisance dog, dog noise, or excessive barking ordinances — define when a barking dog becomes a code violation and how complaints are handled.
Persistent dog barking is handled as a noise disturbance under San Angelo Code Sec. 8.01.005 and through Animal Services. Barking that recurs three or more times in ten days is prima facie proof neighbors were disturbed.
San Angelo addresses chronic barking through the general noise ordinance, Sec. 8.01.005, which reaches any person who makes or allows unnecessary, loud, or prolonged noise, including an owner whose dog barks persistently. The section's ten-day rule (three or more incidents in ten days) and the 10:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. window help establish that neighbors were disturbed. San Angelo Animal Services and Code Compliance take complaints; documenting dates, times, and recordings strengthens a case. Texas dangerous-dog law (Health and Safety Code Ch. 822) is behavior-based, not breed-based, and does not govern barking.
A noise conviction carries a fine up to $500 under Sec. 1.01.009. Repeat offenses fall under the general penalty. Each day of disturbance is a separate offense.
