We all love our animals and want to be great neighbors to each other.

The animal registry is in place for the safety and well-being of all. The registry is available for first responders, for lost and found, and to help prevent the spread of contagion.

Written board approval is required before bringing any animal into the community for any period of time.

LoBT has an animal policy to help avoid some of the challenges we've faced — things like animal injuries and death, resident injuries, neighbor conflicts, and lawsuits over lax or inconsistent enforcement of animal rules. The policy provides a framework for non-animal owners (71%) and animal owners (29%) to co-exist. To show the community's commitment to the policy, violations carry an automatic fine of $2,000, with an additional $200 per day until resolved. But don't worry; you can avoid these fines by following a few basic rules:
  • Only domesticated dogs (Canis familiaris), cats (Felis catus), caged birds, and aquarium animals are allowed. Exotic animals, farm animals, and wildlife are not permitted.

  • You can have up to two dogs or cats in your condo, each weighing no more than 30 pounds when fully grown.

  • If you're buying a condo and plan to bring a animal, you must get written approval from the Board of Directors before moving in.

  • If you're an existing owner and want to get a new animal, you’ll need to get written approval from the Board first.

  • If you need to temporarily board an animal, make sure you have prior written approval from the Board.
You can find the full animal policy to review here. To make sure everyone is aware of it, we’ve filed it in Dallas County Real Estate records, posted it on property signs, and put it up on our website. It’s also provided to home buyers during the document review period, and prospective owners must sign a brief form (click here) acknowledging they’ve seen the policy. As a courtesy, listing agents usually get a copy of the policy when a property is listed. New owners will also find a link in the Welcome Brochure to the policy
