Saline County, AR Public Health Rules: Rodent Control (2026)

00(4)(c) of the Saline County Code, enacted as part of the Property Code for Hot Springs Village by Ordinance No. ' The provision carves out one specific exception: bird and animal feeders are exempt from the requirement, so a homeowner is not in violation for maintaining a feeder even though it can attract rodents. Because the rule sits inside the broader Property Code, it is enforced through the same mechanism as the code's weed, storage and structural-maintenance standards: the Compliance Officer, the Director of Planning and Inspections employed by the Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association or a designated employee, issues a written notice describing the harborage condition and a deadline to correct it, at the officer's reasonable discretion.

A certified Arkansas law enforcement officer issues a criminal citation if the owner, tenant or occupant in physical control of the property fails to comply, and conviction carries the code's general fine of $20 to $500 for a first offense and $40 to $500 for later offenses.
