New Costa Mesa Obnoxious Dog Law
The Costa Mesa City Council passed a law last week that will administer fines on owners of Costa Mesa Real Estate’s dogs who make excessive noise.
Under the law, a dog disturbance is defined as barking, banging, howling or crying that lasts for 30 minutes continuously or for 60 minutes over a 24 hour period. The fines on the dog owners are on an escalating basis by offense, starting at $200 and increase upwards of $403.
Scary, huh??? Obviously those dog owners will have to keep an eye (and an ear) on their favorite canines. This is a welcomed development to many Costa Mesans, there are lots of offending dogs out there, to be sure…..hopefully residents will take a kind approach to their neighbors with dogs before they bark at the city……..now if we could only do something with those pesky possums and racoons…..
For more details, read about the law at the Daily Pilot article.
