For the past 3 years, we have been sending information notices to all residents/homeowners which state all dogs must be on a leash and under your control when on HOA common property. And yet, we still have people letting their dogs out the door and/or letting them wander our property and foul the common areas. The city of Grand Prairie will issue a fine of about $250 for a “dog at large”, per incident.
There is also a City ordinance that you MUST pick up after your dog(s) or you can be fined. It is the responsible thing to do, but few actually do it. The HOA has placed pet sanitation stations around the community, so please use them.
We also have Affidavits of Fact in the Office if you observe a loose dog or someone letting the dog wander off-leash. They do require that you can identify the owner of the dog so the City can go after the right person. Once you have the document filled out, Terry can Notarize it for you and you can drop it at Animal Control. They will then issue a citation.
A photo of the dog and owner is always helpful.
