|---|---|
| Fine | $50 |
| Repeat offense | $100 |

How the penalty works
The Alaska Court System's Uniform Minor Offense Table for Juneau (report created 9/8/2026) lists CBJ 08.45.010(a)(2), labeled 'Objectionable Injury to Property,' at $50 (first offense), $100 (second offense), and $500 with a mandatory court appearance (third and later). Animal code violations are infractions (CBJ 08.50.030) with a maximum fine of $500 (CBJ 01.40.010(b)(3)).
The carry rule
No carry requirement. The keeper must 'prevent the animal from defecating upon, digging upon or injuring public property or a public thoroughfare or private property without the permission of the property owner.' Exemption: none stated in § 08.45.010.
How Juneau compares
At $50, the Juneau ticket is lower than Anchorage ($100) and Fairbanks ($100).
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.
