It is against the law in Montgomery County for an owner to allow an animal to enter or defecate on private property without the owner’s permission. An animal may defecate on public property or the common area of the property in which the owner shares an interest if the owner immediately removes and disposes of the feces by a sanitary method.

Montgomery County Law also requires that pets be leashed or under the control of their owner at all times. The Association hopes that residents will use common sense and courtesy regarding their pets so this does not become an area of contention.
