Learn more at the ASPCA.

Bad behaviors can result from many things, such as boredom, lack of training, separation anxiety, health issues, and much more. If a behavior pops up suddenly and is not normal for your pet, check with your veterinarian to make sure a health issue is not the cause. Obedience training is another great way to curb unwanted behaviors. View a list of local trainers. (PDF)

Due to the large number of strays brought to animal control every month, we are limited in the number of owned animals we can take in. Though we try to accommodate as many as possible, you may want to look for other places to rehome your pet. Social Media is a great place to start. You can also check with a rescue—you can find many online. When turning over an owned animal to Animal Control, there is a fee to surrender an animal.

Dogs can get out of yards by jumping, digging, breaking through old fencing, or simply walking through an unclosed gate. 

Some ways to prevent this from happening include making sure that you do not have things close to the fence that a dog can get up on to jump the fence, such as tables, landscapes, or unwanted items. Check your fencing regularly for any breaks, looseness, or holes. If your dog is a digger, you may need to bury some fencing under the ground to stop your dog from escaping. If you have gates that open easily or are hard to keep shut, you may need to put a lock on them so that your pet is secure.

Contact the Animal Control Department as soon as possible to report a missing pet.  Leave your name, address, home phone number, work phone number, and a description of your animal.

Search the area near your home. Post signs in your area and on local social media to help spread the word that your pet is lost.

Remember, you are your pet's best friend. Provide identification. If your pet ever does get loose, the license can help ensure a safe return. A cat or dog picked up and placed in the City Animal Control Impound Facility that is not wearing a current license is deemed unowned. An unowned animal or "stray" is held for 72 hours (three days) and is then open for adoption.

We have a beautiful dog park located near Rodeo Road and Pinal Avenue; this is the only park within the city where dogs can run off-leash. The city ordinances and state laws do not allow for a dog to be at large. All dogs are to be restrained by a leash or enclosure.

We do not issue kennel licenses in the city of Casa Grande, making 4 pets the limit within the city.

Yes, the city of Casa Grande requires all dogs and cats to be Rabies vaccinated and licensed. There are many low-cost vaccine clinic opportunities. Contact Animal Control for information on clinics, or visit your local veterinarian. To purchase your pet's license, bring your rabies certificate to:

Animal Care and Adoption Center
202 E First Avenue
Casa Grande, AZ
Phone: 520-426-9300

We encourage you to seek the advice of your veterinarian on other vaccines available. Although we believe some to be very beneficial, this is a decision for you and your veterinarian to make.

We are required to have potable water (drinkable water) at all times for our pets. Some tips to help the dog who loves to tip over the water to lay in it: 

• Try using a wide base container that is more difficult to tip
• Dig a hole just large enough to set a plastic bucket inside so that they can't tip it over
• Set a bucket inside of a square brick making it difficult for the dog to tip the bucket
• Try having a kiddy pool along with a separate drinking water bucket so they can get in to cool off

In the Arizona sun, a metal container will quickly heat your pet's water, causing your pet not to drink even though it is there. A 10% loss of body water can cause serious illness in an animal, so whatever trick works for your pet is worth the effort.

The inside of a doghouse in the Arizona sun gets very hot. It is important to have available shade outside of the doghouse where your dog can rest. Your dog may use the dog house if that is the only shade available, but remember they can be much more sensitive to heat than you. Check the temperature inside the doghouse.

Whenever a dog or cat bites someone and breaks the skin, it must be quarantined for ten days. The location of the quarantine is determined by many things, such as: 

• Is the animal rabies vaccinated and licensed?
• Was the animal at large when it bit someone?
• Has the animal bitten before?
• Is there a secure location to quarantine the animal?

Your local Animal Control officer will work with you to determine what is the safest location for your pet to be quarantined.

Whenever a dog or cat bites any person, the incident shall be reported to the Police Department or Animal Control Officer immediately by any person having knowledge of the bite.

Yes, it is unlawful to harbor or keep any animals that disturb the peace by loud noises at any time day or night.

Standard Used to Determine if Barking Disturbs the Peace

"Our inquiry must determine whether the noise would disturb a person of ordinary sensitivities; that is … not merely because it offends some super sensitive or hypercritical individual, but because it is, by its nature, of a sort that is a substantial interference with (our old friend) the reasonable man." Arizona Court of Appeals in State v. Singer, 945 P.2d 359 (1997).

More Information to Help with Barking Dogs

Many things can get a dog barking. Is the dog barking only at certain times? Is there a lot of foot traffic near your area? Is the dog in distress? You may want to talk with your neighbor; they may be unaware that the dog is creating a problem with its barking. Sometimes people unintentionally become complacent and don't realize that it may be bothering others. You can also contact Animal Control and we can do a "knock and talk" with the pet owner to assist you.

Heatstroke is a leading cause of summer pet deaths. On a warm day, the temperature inside your car can reach 160 degrees in a matter of minutes, even with the windows partially open. Pets don't perspire like humans; they pant to cool off. With only hot air to breathe (enclosed car), pets can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke.

Walking your dog in the heat of the day can cause very painful burns that can take weeks to heal. In the summer, sidewalks can reach more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Walk your dog in the early morning or later in the evening. Temperatures above 90 degrees are too hot for walking.

Some rules to follow:

1. NEVER leave animals in a HOT car.
2. Never leave your pet in an enclosed space, like a car or a plastic kennel.
3. Always make sure your pet has plenty of shade and fresh water.
4. Keep geriatric, overweight, and short-nosed dogs, i.e. (Bulldogs, pugs, Pekinese, and Boston terriers) in the A/C. These types of dogs are more sensitive to heat.
5. Seek immediate medical attention if your pet shows any signs of heat stroke such as excessive panting/drooling, bright red gums, vomiting and/or diarrhea, lethargy or stupor/loss of balance, loss of consciousness, seizure, or collapse.

Alternative Recycling Locations

The city has been in discussions with potential vendors who may be able to provide recycling services in the future. We are also working to find other potential processors and end users for these materials.

City workers will not be collecting the blue recycling bins after the last scheduled recycling pick up. You may keep the blue bins or bring them to:

Public Works North Operations Center
3181 N Lear Avenue
Casa Grande, AZ 85122

If a customer keeps their blue bin, recycling materials will not be picked up after a customer's last recycling pickup date.

Keeping the recycling program would have added about $3 a month to all trash and sewer bills regardless of whether a customer took part in the recycling program.

About 26% of customers take part in the city's recycling program.

In 2018, a vendor paid the city $18 a ton for our recycled materials. Our lowest bid this year would have required the city to pay a vendor $67 per ton for recycled materials, plus cover the cost of transportation and a fine of $50 a ton if a load was contaminated with non-recyclable material.

The cost of recycling programs for municipalities has increased substantially after China, the largest buyer of recycled materials, announced it was limiting imports due to environmental concerns. You can read more about the effect China's new policy is having on the U.S. recycling market here and here. As a result, it's becoming too expensive to collect, transport, and process recycled materials that have little or no market value.

Recycling pickups will be suspended as of July 1, 2019. Notices of the last pickup date will be placed in the blue recycling bins prior to the last pickup.

The city is suspending the current recycling program until a more effective, efficient, and economically viable means of recycling is found to replace the current program.

Road maintenance and repair in Pinal County is primarily funded through three revenue sources: the half-cent transportation fund, vehicle license fund, “use fees” generated from gasoline purchases, and other items collected by the State of Arizona and placed in the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF).

No. The road maintenance fund is not a tax increase. It is the local funding that has been in place since 1986 and renewed in 2005. It has helped Pinal County keep up with growth and offers well-maintained roads as the population has grown from under 100,000 in 1985 to nearly half a million residents today.

In the last five years, the half-cent transportation road maintenance fund has generated between $10 to $15 million annually for road repairs, mitigation for air quality, small projects, and pavement preservation. 

If the fund were to expire, this would lead to transportation cuts for all cities and towns, which would impact transportation investments – especially pavement preservation.

Preservation efforts extend the life of pavement, keep road conditions safe, and are significantly less costly than rehabilitation or reconstruction. Preservation ensures that roads last longer with preventative maintenance and can help to avoid more expensive rebuilds.

No. The half-cent road maintenance fund is the existing fund that has been in place since 1986. It was most recently passed as Proposition 400 in 2005. This fund is used mostly for maintenance and preservation. 

Proposition 417 (2017) which was removed by the courts and Proposition 469 (2022) which ultimately did not pass were additional funding to build new regional road network under the direction of the Pinal County Regional Transportation Authority.

No. Primary property taxes pay for things like school districts and general government operations but not roads. 

In Casa Grande, secondary property taxes or GO Bonds are used to fund programs for general community needs and to accelerate construction. The city also uses Federal and state grants, state-shared revenues of the Highway-Use Revenue Fund (also known as HURF), and half-cent transportation road maintenance funds (pothole) for roadway improvements.

It is a rental property that is rented for less than 30 days at a time. This type of rental is also called “transient lodging” and is defined in Arizona Revised Statutes § 42-5070.

A.R.S. §9-500.39 allows short-term rentals in all the state’s municipalities, including Casa Grande. The City does not have the authority to deny or restrict short-term rentals.

While the City does not have the statutory authority to permanently “shut down” short-term rentals, the City does have the authority to suspend a short-term rental permit for up to a year under specific circumstances (Casa Grande City Code 5.28.080).

Yes, they do. All short-term rentals in the State of Arizona are required to pay the Hotel and Hotel/Motel (Additional Tax) Taxes.

$115. This amount is intended to only cover the cost of managing all the short-term rental permits (short-term rental software, personnel costs, etc.) and is not intended to “make money” for the City. The annual renewal fee is also $115.

Permits are valid for one calendar year following the date the permit is issued.

Please email the City to cancel your permit. Include details of the date you would like the permit canceled and the reason for the cancelation. Please note that your rental property cannot be operated without an active Short-Term Rental Permit.

Yes. Any property that operates as a short-term rental for any number of nights must have a Short-Term Rental Permit.

Yes.

To appeal the denial of a permit application, a penalty from a violation of the Short-Term Rental Ordinance, or the suspension of a short-term rental permit, you must submit the Short Term Rental Appeal Form to the City Manager's Office within 30 days of the action you are disputing. You will then be contacted within 15 days to schedule a hearing with the Deputy City Manager or his/her designee.

The Arizona Department of Revenue’s website details how short-term rental property owners should address taxation. Please contact the City with any additional questions.

Scenario 1: Property Owner Utilizing an Online Lodging Marketplace (OLM)

In Arizona, property owners who offer short-term rentals through an Online Lodging Marketplace (OLM) are still required to obtain a TPT license. Even though the OLM is responsible for collecting and remitting the applicable taxes to the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR), property owners must report the income received through the OLM on their TPT returns. They should use the appropriate business codes for reporting and deduct 100% of the income received from the OLM using deduction code 775. This process ensures that the income is properly accounted for, even though the tax has already been remitted by the OLM.

Additionally, property owners are required to include their TPT license number on any advertising associated with the short-term rental. This requirement applies regardless of the number of listings a property owner has through the OLM.

Scenario 2: Property Owner Utilizing a Property Management Company (PMC)

When a property owner engages a Property Management Company (PMC) to manage their short-term rental, the PMC may handle the filing and payment of taxes on behalf of the property owner. However, the property owner is still required to obtain a TPT license. The PMC will need to provide the appropriate Power of Attorney forms to validate their authority to act on behalf of the property owner. It's important to note that if a property owner engages multiple PMCs to manage various short-term rentals, each property would need to be licensed separately. This is because multiple returns cannot be submitted within the same period under a single license.

In both scenarios, obtaining a TPT license is a mandatory requirement for property owners offering short-term rentals in Arizona, regardless of the platforms or management structures they utilize. This ensures compliance with state tax laws and proper reporting of rental income.
