Placer County Municipal Code Art. 6.28 Grazing Areas

If livestock cause or occasion damage by breaking through a lawful fence, the owner and person entitled to possession of the livestock shall be responsible for such damage. Nothing herein shall be construed to establish liability as to unfenced land.

(Prior code § 3.205)

Any person who pastures livestock in such grazing area in Placer County shall have on file with the brand inspector and director of animal services, the owner's brand, or other means of ownership identification, such as ear tags, and the name and address of the party to be notified pursuant to Section 6.28.040.

(Prior code § 3.210; Ord. 5653-B § 28, 2011)

Any animal control officer of Placer County shall be charged with the enforcement of this article. Upon receipt of notice that livestock have strayed into lands not heretofore designated as grazing lands, the director of animal services shall give written notice to the designated person or owner. The owner or person in control of such animals shall have three days from the date of the notice to remove such livestock; if such livestock are not removed within such three-day period, then the director of animal services shall pick up and detain such animals and charge the owner the cost of such services in accordance with law. Such animals shall not be released until such charges have been paid in full. Nothing in this section shall be construed to negate any remedies that any landowners or other persons entitled to possession may have under any other laws or ordinances.

(Ord. 5653-B § 29, 2011)

Nothing in Sections 6.28.020 through 6.28.050 shall be deemed to change in any manner any other remedies for damages otherwise available to a landowner, livestock owner, or third parties.

(Prior code § 3.225)
