My neighbor does not clean the cat(s) or dog(s) waste on his/her property, what can be done?
The Nassau County Public Health Ordinance prohibits property owners and occupants from allowing significant amounts of animal waste or other offensive materials from accumulating on their property. Significant accumulation is generally seen as more than a few days of waste. Nassau County residents can call the NC Department of Health – Community Sanitation Program (227-9715) if their neighbors refuse to take care of this problem. The Health Department would also respond to: insect pest conditions resulting from an accumulation of animal waste, and a very severe odor condition.
