New Jersey § 4:19-24

§ 4:19-24.

If the municipal court declares the dog to be potentially dangerous, it shall issue

an order and a schedule for compliance which, in part: a. shall require the owner to comply with the following conditions: (1) to apply, at his own expense, to the municipal clerk or other official designated

to license dogs pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1941, c. 151 ( C. 4:19-15.2 ), for a special municipal potentially dangerous dog license, municipal registration

number, and red identification tag issued pursuant to section 14 of this act. 1 The owner shall, at his own expense, have the registration number tattooed upon

the dog in a prominent location. A potentially dangerous dog shall be impounded until the owner obtains a municipal

potentially dangerous dog license, municipal registration number, and red identification

tag; (2) to display, in a conspicuous manner, a sign on his premises warning that a potentially

dangerous dog is on the premises. The sign shall be visible and legible from 50 feet of the enclosure required pursuant

to paragraph (3) of this subsection; (3) to immediately erect and maintain an enclosure for the potentially dangerous dog

on the property where the potentially dangerous dog will be kept and maintained, which

has sound sides, top and bottom to prevent the potentially dangerous dog from escaping

by climbing, jumping or digging and within a fence of at least six feet in height

separated by at least three feet from the confined area. The owner of a potentially dangerous dog shall securely lock the enclosure to prevent

the entry of the general public and to preclude any release or escape of a potentially

dangerous dog by an unknowing child or other person. All potentially dangerous dogs shall be confined in the enclosure or, if taken out

of the enclosure, securely muzzled and restrained with a tether approved by the animal

control officer and having a minimum tensile strength sufficiently in excess of that

required to restrict the potentially dangerous dog's movements to a radius of no more

than three feet from the owner and under the direct supervision of the owner; b. may require the owner to maintain liability insurance in an amount determined by

the municipal court to cover any damage or injury caused by the potentially dangerous

dog. The liability insurance, which may be separate from any other homeowner policy,

shall contain a provision requiring the municipality in which the owner resides to

be named as an additional insured for the sole purpose of being notified by the insurance

company of any cancellation, termination or expiration of the liability insurance

policy. 1
