Aurora, which is just outside the Chicago metro area, is Illinois’s second-largest city and home to about 200,000 people. Known to some as the “City of Lights,” Aurora also extends into four different counties – DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will – and over one-third of the population is between 25 and 44 years old.

Cities, towns, and communities throughout Illinois enact and enforce their own ordinances (in addition to state law) regarding dog ownership and responsibilities. Here are some of Aurora’s Section 9 ordinances for dog ownership:

  • Domestic animal ownership is limited to four animals per household (Section 9-2);
  • Every citizen who owns a cat or dog must maintain a city registration tag and always display it on the animal’s collar (Section 9-3);
  • All cats and dogs four months or older must be vaccinated for rabies and receive annual follow-up booster shots from a veterinarian; the pet must also wear the vaccination tag at all times (Section 9-8);
  • Dog owners are responsible for ensuring that the dogs do not “disturb the peace” by behaving loudly or aggressively, especially at late hours (Section 9-11), and do not bite or attack another person, animal, or other person’s property; a dog which bites or attacks without provocation may be declared a public nuisance and impounded by Aurora’s Animal Control Officer (Section 9-13).
