According to North Newton City Ordinance 162 Section 7 "No owner, keeper or harborer of any dog shall permit the same to run at large within the City of North Newton, Kansas."
A 2003 ordinance requires the removal of animal feces from public or private property (including public walks, streets, recreation areas, and parks) other than the property owned or under the control of the animal's owner, and that the feces be disposed of in a sanitary manner.
INTANGIBLES TAX: North Newton is one of the cities in Kansas that levies an intangible tax. This is a tax on interest and dividend earnings. Persons who have such income are required to complete Kansas Tax Form 200. This form is filed with your Kansas income tax form each spring. The State of Kansas notifies the Harvey County Clerk of the filing. The County Clerk in turn posts the tax on the individual property tax statement. The tax is then collected in the same manner as the property owner's ad valorem property tax. Your accountant should be aware of this requirement. If you have recently moved to town and/or if you prepare your own State income tax forms, this is a matter of which you should be aware.
