Barking dog rules in Weld County, CO — also called nuisance dog, dog noise, or excessive barking ordinances — define when a barking dog becomes a code violation and how complaints are handled.
Weld County's noise ordinance does not cover barking. Sec. 14-9-60(E) exempts sounds made by dogs and farm animals. Persistent barking is handled as an animal nuisance through animal control, not by the decibel limits.
Under Weld County Code Sec. 14-9-60(E), noise from dogs and farm animals (cattle, goats, horses, fowl, llamas) is exempt from the Article IX sound limits, fitting for a large agricultural county. That means a barking-dog complaint is not a decibel-meter case; it is pursued as an animal nuisance through the Weld County Sheriff's Animal Control unit. Inside Greeley, chronic barking is likewise addressed under the city's animal and nuisance provisions rather than the noise-decibel rules. Document dates, times and duration when you report.
Enforced as an animal nuisance via an animal-control citation, not under the noise-decibel penalty schedule.
