Pet Incidents
Rules for pets in Cordillera are designed to keep pets and wildlife safe. Our community’s rules reflect agreements between Cordillera, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and Eagle County. Only owners and guests of owners are allowed to bring pets into the Community; contractors and service providers are prohibited from entering with dogs or other pets, even if the animal is intended to be kept inside a vehicle. Dogs must be on a leash at all times on properties owned by the Cordillera Metropolitan District, which includes all road right of ways and open space tracts. The exception is the Dog Park above the Maintenance Facility on Carterville Road, where dogs can run free inside a fenced enclosure.
Placing pet or bird food outdoors is prohibited in Cordillera, as it could attract wildlife. Bears are a particular concern in this regard. The CPOA should be consulted regarding other pet rules and restrictions that apply to pet ownership on private properties.
For concerns regarding pets on roads or open space areas in Cordillera, please contact Cordillera Public Safety: (970) 926-2335.
