Online Portal for Dog Licensing & Code Compliance: Citizenserve
Compliance Through Cooperation
Animal Control/Code Compliance works in partnership with the citizens of Boardman to promote and maintain a safe and attractive living and working environment. Animal Control/Code Compliance routinely patrols neighborhoods for code violations and investigates complaints with a mission of abating issues and educating residents.
Animal Control also keeps dog licensing records, including dogs at large, barking dogs, and impounds stray dogs. The City will no longer be releasing the breed or gender of found dogs due to issues concerning puppy mills. Release of information about found dogs will only state the location and size of the dog and coloring. The breed and gender are not disclosed to ensure the proper owner gets the dog.
Code Compliance investigates most neighborhood quality of life complaints in the city, junk in the yard, uncut grass, buildings without permits, and hoarding. It enforces zoning, property maintenance, building, blight, grass, fire, and health codes, all within a single department.
