a condition that will prevent the dog from biting any person or animal, but that will not cause injury to the dog or interfere with its vision or respiration. Subsection 3: Leased premises A person who owns a dangerous or potentially dangerous dog and who rents property from another where the dog will reside shall disclose to the property owner prior to when the dog begins to reside on the property, or prior to entering the lease-agreement, and at the time of any lease renewal, that the person owns a dangerous or potentially dangerous dog that will reside at the property. Subsection 4: Warning symbol If the County issues a Certificate of Registration to the owner of a dangerous dog pursuant to this Ordinance, the County must provide, for posting on the owner's property, an adequate number of a warning symbol to inform all persons, including children, that there is a dangerous dog on the property. The design of the warning symbol must be uniform with any specifications for such a sign as issued by the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, if any, and shall otherwise be obtained by the County from the Commissioner of Public Safety. The County will charge the owner a reasonable fee to cover its administrative costs and the cost of the warning symbol. Subsection 5: Tag A dangerous dog registered under this section shall have a standardized, easily identifiable tag identifying the dog as dangerous and containing the uniform dangerous dog symbol, as developed by the Commissioner of Public Safety or the Animal Control Authority, affixed to the dog's collar at all times. Subsection 6: Property inspection The owner of a dangerous dog shall permit the Animal Control Authority and/or Law Enforcement to enter the property where a dangerous dog is kept or located, at all hours reasonable under the circumstances, without a warrant or other advanced judicial process, to inspect to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance, applicable state statutes, order from a hearing officer, or directive from the Animal Control Authority. The failure of an owner to permit such inspection is, by itself, a ground to immediately seize the dog pursuant to Section 13 of this Ordinance and revoke the dangerous dog registration pursuant to Section 8, Subsection 7 of this Ordinance. Subsection 7: Review If, in reviewing the conditions for keeping a dangerous dog there have been no ordinance violations for a period of two (2) years, the Animal Control Authority or Hearing Officer may use discretion in determining whether the conditions set forth above are still required. 070710 Sherburne County Dog Ordinance 13
