Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control
Ordinance 98-22
Sec. 4. Dog and cat control.

person by means of a chain, leash."
Yes, it does.
YES!
Florida the state as a whole does not have a leash law but each individual county does. See below for the link.
Banks county doesn't have animal control so most don't seem to bother with it. However there is a leash law, that if your dog isn't in a fenced in area they have to be on a lash. According to Hall county. I'm right on the boarder so I keep to the leash law the best I can as I don't need them crossing over into Hall county and animal control getting them.

Where did the "trouble" take place? You must file your action in the court of whatever county it occurred in. Unless the court has "jurisdiction" to handle your case it will not hear it. Also: Check Florida law to determine if the county government may be immune from your suit.
Leash Law was created in 2003.
Leash Law ended in 2005.

You're dog must wear a leash unless the place says otherwise. These same rules do not apply for service dogs. I think that is what you mean. Dog leash rules, right? I live in TX and have a dog so I should know.
