The Lilburn City Council on Monday adopted the new Gwinnett County animal control ordinance to maintain consistency between the city and county. The city depends upon Gwinnett to enforce the animal control ordinance in city limits.

The primary change for Lilburn city residents is unattended tethering is no longer allowed. Residents are not allowed to tie their pets to a run and leave them.
