Anmore dog leash rules and off-leash areas
Where can dogs be off leash, and what are the leash rules?
In Anmore, a dog off its owner's property must be on a leash or under the owner's direct control, and may not run at large. The bylaw sets no leash length and the Village does not state any off-leash area. An off-leash dog can bring a $100 bylaw notice.

Under the Dog Control Bylaw No. 270-2000, an owner must not let a dog run at large. Off your own property, a dog must be secured on a leash or under your direct control. A dog must also be kept from trespassing on private property, even on a leash.
Good to know
- The bylaw sets no maximum leash length.
- Neither the bylaw nor the Village's park and trail pages state an off-leash area. Ask the Village before assuming one exists.
- The bylaw does not list places where dogs are banned. Metro Vancouver and BC Hydro parks nearby have their own rules.
- The Village's parks and trails guide asks owners to clean up after their dogs. The bylaw has no pick-up section.
- A dog off leash can bring a $100 bylaw notice ($70 if paid within 14 days; $130 if paid more than 30 days after or unpaid).
- To report a loose dog, use the Village's bylaw complaint form (dogs are listed) or call the Bylaw Department at 604-828-4987.
