§ 416-12.424. Animals from other jurisdictions.

No animal that has previously been determined to be potentially dangerous, dangerous or vicious after an administrative hearing by another jurisdiction shall be kept, owned or harbored in Contra Costa County unless the animal's owner or keeper complies with the county potentially dangerous or dangerous animal permit requirements under this article. Potentially dangerous or dangerous animal permits must be obtained prior to bringing the animal into the county. Animals in violation of this section are subject to impoundment and humane destruction by injection after notice and a hearing under Section 416-12.406 of this article, except that the only issues for hearing are whether the animal ever received a potentially dangerous, dangerous or vicious animal designation in another jurisdiction, and whether the animal's owner or keeper complied with the permit requirements under this article.
