Animal Licensing


No person shall be permitted to keep more than three (3) dogs or six (6) cats in a single family residence, or one (1) dog or two (2) cats in an apartment / condo unit within the Village of Worth.

Animals are not permitted to run at large.

Dogs are to be leashed or fenced and animal feces are to be collected by the owner.

If your animal escapes your yard and is picked up by the Police or Code Enforcement Officer, there may be a housing fee from the Animal Welfare League if your animal is taken there.

Stray or abused animals should be reported. The Code Enforcement Officer is available to help remove any "uninvited critters" such as skunks, raccoons, etc by renting a trap for capture.
