Animal laws & ordinances

Know the common rules.

This overview helps residents find common Animal Control topics. The official Del City Code of Ordinances controls if any summary differs from the current code.

Animals at large

Owners are responsible for keeping animals restrained and preventing them from running at large. Contact Animal Control for an animal creating a public-safety or nuisance concern.

Animal care and cruelty

Animals must receive humane care, adequate food, water, shelter, and necessary protection. Report suspected neglect, cruelty, or an animal in immediate danger.

Nuisance animals

Repeated noise, property damage, sanitation problems, or other animal-related interference may be investigated under applicable nuisance provisions.

Rabies and identification

Keep vaccination, identification, and ownership records current. These records can be important when reclaiming an impounded animal.
