Commonly Asked Questions About Pets

What pets are approved within the Village at Castle Pines?

No animals, livestock, or poultry shall be kept, raised, or bred in any dwelling unit other than dogs, cats, or other “household” pets in such numbers as not to constitute a nuisance.

Yes, the DRC must approve all outdoor controlled areas for dogs, including kennels, dog runs, and invisible fence enclosures.

All authorized pets in the Village are “household” and should be kept within the house most of the time. All dogs, when outside, must be attended under direct control by the owner on a leash or kept in a controlled area on the owner’s property.

Any animal that creates any nuisance by continual barking, causing damage to other people’s property, or otherwise disturbing persons or other animals must be controlled.

Emergency Services may issue a Notice of Violation, which may also result in a fine.

In the Village, dogs must remain on a leash and under the handler’s direct control when not on the owners’ property. This assures safety and shows respect for others and also prevents dogs from harassing wildlife. Emergency Services will issue a Notice of Violation if they observe a dog off-leash.

In a joint effort, the CPHA and the CPMD have installed several doggie waste stations around the Village. To maintain the beauty of our natural community, we request that residents clean up after their pets and dispose of the bags at their homes or one of the many mutt mitt receptacles located throughout the Village. Here are the Mutt Mitt stations throughout the Village. Map of mutt mitt stations around the Village.

No, all dogs must be leashed when not on their owner’s property in the Village. However, there are several off-leash dog parks in the area outside the Village.
