[I have a question, need help]

One of my neighbors had the same problem with the guy on the other side of them. The dog was closer to my side, but I never heard him and he really wasn't a problem. He ended up reporting them to Animal Control and he always has the same people sign the complaint. You need 3 signatures to back up your complaint.

 

This is what I found on the Paulding County website.

 

Is there a limit to the number of animals you can own in Paulding County?

There is no limit to the number of animals a household can have, given that the animals are kept in a humane environment and do not become a nuisance to neighbors by either causing offensive odors or disturbing noises.

 

Does Paulding have an animal noise ordinance?

Yes, we do have a noise ordinance. This ordinance states that an animal should not be allowed to bark for longer than 15 consecutive minutes where such noise can be heard over a residential or commercial boundary line. The complainant must gather evidence to support their claim that the animal in question is indeed violating the ordinance. This evidence must be in the form of a videotape or audiotape (with witnesses for audiotape evidence) and must be submitted to Animal Control in accordance with the ordinance. Anyone wishing to file a noise complaint can come to the animal shelter during normal business hours and pick up a “noise compliant packet”. This packet will have instruction and documents needed to file a noise complain

 

Hope that helped!! And keep in mind, if the dog stops barking for a few seconds and starts again, they have to start recording again, it has to be 15 minutes non stop!

[Where did you meet your spouse or significant other?]
