Escambia County Animal Control currently responds to complaints of animal control violations on Santa Rosa Island on a priority basis based upon the severity of the complaint. Without an officer present to patrol the beaches, it is difficult to respond to Code violations in a timely manner.

As provided in the Interlocal Agreement, the Santa Rosa Island Authority has agreed to contribute the sum of $42,000 to fund an Animal Control Officer (ACO) on Santa Rosa Island for a 12 month term with any additional costs borne by the County. Upon mutual agreement of both parties, this Agreement may be renewed for up to two (2) additional twelve month terms. During the 12 month term of the agreement, the County shall allocate up to 2,080 hours of ACO services on Santa Rosa Island, which shall not exceed 60 service hours per week.
