 Re: legal?
If your town/county etc requires a license for dog/car/boat/bicylce (I kid you not on that one) etc it is your duty to pay for that license whether you like it or not.
I doubt they will care if you open your door or not, you still have to pay the fee and register what is required, but you should have been notified in writing that it was a requirement prior to complaint.
If a neighbor's barking dog is cause for one to complain then it is the duty of that dog owner to comply with local laws--barking after certain times--level of noise, etc. If a dog sets off a motion detector light at 5 am every morning that owner is required to subdue the light if it causes a disturbance to the neighbor's sleep--go figger! Just some points of law to consider--even tho there are some really weird ones-- a barber cannot cut hair on certain days...yadda yadda yadda |
