Quick answer: Yes. Bellevue requires dog owners to pick up after their dogs under Bellevue Code of Ordinances Sec. 6-6(A). The set ticket for a first offense is $25.
What the Bellevue ordinance says
| Ordinance | Bellevue Code of Ordinances Sec. 6-6(A) (Animal waste); penalty Sec. 6-9 |
|---|---|
| Fine | $25 |
| Must carry a bag | No |
| Service animal exemption | No |
How the penalty works
A person cited under 6-6 may plead guilty, waive a court appearance and pay a $25 fine plus court costs by mail or electronically (6-9(D)). On conviction the range is $25 to $300 per offense (6-9(A)); no separate repeat-offense amount.
The carry rule
No carry requirement. Covers excreta left on public walks, recreation areas or private property, and waste from cleaning cages, pens or other animal facilities. No service-dog exemption stated.
How Bellevue compares
Bellevue is the only one of the largest cities in Nebraska we checked with a set ticket amount. The others leave the figure to a judge.
In practice
Pick up every time, bag it, and put it in a trash can. That is the one method that satisfies every ordinance in the country. The Walk Dispenser clips to the leash and holds a full roll.
