58.12 LIABILITY

The City shall not be liable for any injury or death to chickens caused by cats, dogs, or other animals, domestic or wild, whether such animals are licensed or not by the City. Further, the injury or death of a chicken caused by an animal is not, in and of itself, sufficient grounds for declaring that animal vicious pursuant to Chapter 57 of this Code.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
