How can a dog citation be appealed?
The majority of violations are cited as a Notice of Violation and may be appealed to an independent hearings officer. The hearings officer has the authority to modify or cancel penalties issued for violations. There is no cost to appeal a Notice of Violation. Simply follow the instructions on the back of the form and be sure the appeal is received by the date indicated. If a citizen receives a criminal citation for an animal violation and wishes to appeal, the citizen should appear at Clark County District Court on the date and time indicated on the citation.
