What do I do if my neighbor's dog is coming onto my property, destroying my property, or constantly barking all hours of the night?

There is no leash law in Franklin County, however, the animal owner is responsible to contain their animal on their property to prevent it from running at large. You can contact the Magistrate's Office at 540-483-3076 and acquire a nuisance warrant.
