Who do I report barking dogs, loud chickens, and other Public Nuisances on private property.
All Public Nuisances, regarding animal issues located on private property, must be reported to Keaton Walde, the Animal Control Officer for the Clatsop County Animal Control Services. His contact information is 503-298-9881 (Mobile) and 503-861-7387 (Office). His e-mail is kwalde@co.clatsop.or.us. He indicated that the correct process is to contact his department with your complaint directly. He cannot enforce complaints from a third party, such as our security person.
In Clatsop County there is no special form to complete so Deputy Walde typically will personally observe the offending property to ascertain if the issue is severe enough to cite a Type 2 infraction or not. He did indicate that the complaining person can submit video or audio evidence to assist the officer.
This is not something that our onsite safety person can do for you. As many of you know, our recently passed CC&Rs only address loose animal issues that occur on the Surf Pines Common area and roads. If these occur on the private property of another member, then our rules do not apply based on our guiding documents. So, if you call our Security person, he has been instructed to provide you Deputy Wade’s contact information to file a formal complaint.
