Pit bull owners in the city of Brandon have two months to obtain permits that require a special pen for the dogs and liability insurance.
Meanwhile, Flowood residents who own pit bulls have one month to obtain the permits.
The Clarion-Ledger reports both cities’ leaders unanimously adopted regulations on pit bulls and similar dogs last week.
In order to obtain a permit, owners must have at least a 100-square-foot pen with a concrete floor and enclosed with at least a six-foot chain-link fence.
Additionally, the pen must have a roof. For Brandon residents, the pen has to be inside a fenced backyard.
Owners also must have a liability insurance policy of at least $100,000.
Those in violation can be fined up to $1,000 and jailed for up to three months.
