§ 6-101. Posting of premise.

(a)

All premises upon which a dangerous dog is kept, possessed or harbored shall be posted with signs that are conspicuously visible to the public and legible from property, public or private, adjacent to such premises. Such signs or notices shall contain letters not less than two (2) inches in height and a message sufficient to warn the general public of the presence of the dangerous dog. Such signs shall be placed at all locations where entry to the owner's property is common and expected and upon all enclosures within which dangerous dogs are confined, including residencies and other structures.

(b)

The absence of any required signs shall be considered prima facie evidence of a violation of this section. Signs shall be constructed and maintained in a manner to withstand the elements.

(c)

Notwithstanding the exceptions granted in section 6-99 of this article, the requirements of this section shall apply to all duly authorized and lawfully operated dealers in animals within the city and any lawfully operated circus, carnival, performing acts or similar functions and events of a temporary nature as may be authorized by the city and to any premises utilizing dangerous dogs lawfully.
