What the Overland Park ordinance says
| Ordinance | Overland Park Municipal Code 6.08.080 (Damage to property); penalty 6.16.020 and 1.12.010 |
|---|---|
| Fine | Up to $500 |
| Must carry a bag | No |
| Service animal exemption | No |
How the penalty works
No fixed fine. Up to $500 and/or up to six months (1.12.010, applied through 6.16.020).
The carry rule
No carry requirement. 6.08.080 makes it unlawful to let an animal defecate on any sidewalk, parkland, or private or public property; the exception for immediate cleanup is written only for public property. No service-dog exemption stated (6.16.015 exempts law enforcement canines from Title 6).
How Overland Park compares
Unlike Kansas City ($100), Overland Park has no set ticket, so the amount is decided when a citation is heard.
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.
