This article is adopted in order to protect the health, safety
and well-being of persons and property by prohibiting certain animals
within the City of Margate City. It has been determined that the harboring
of certain animals within the City may be offensive to other residents
so as to constitute a public nuisance and may pose a threat to the
safety of its inhabitants and their property.
It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, maintain, have
in his or her possession or under his or her control or to permit
another to keep, maintain or have under his or her control within
the City limits any cattle, chickens, bees, goats, guinea hens, hogs,
horses, ocelots, pigs (including potbelly pigs), pigeons, sheep, swine
or any other animal that is deemed by the City to constitute a nuisance
and/or be dangerous to the health, safety or well-being of persons
or property. The foregoing enumeration is not intended to be all-inclusive.
The determination of whether or not an animal is deemed to be a nuisance
and/or endangerment shall be made either by the City’s Code
Enforcement Officer or a police officer of the Police Department.
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000
or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both. A separate
offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a
violation occurs or continues.
