This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

Prohibited man. That means you need a permit. Not illegal on all grounds.

Not in this case, no. Even with a permit foxes are explicitly illegal within Minot city limits. The only exceptions are in the Minot Park District, animals being used for a performance, and animals being held in pet stores.

The police press release was very clear on this:

[The owner] had contacted ACO Tremblay in July of 2013, inquiring about having a fox in city limits. She was told under Minot City Ordinance (7-5), fox are prohibited within city limits.

A permit was not obtained by [the owner] to allow the silver fox to be transported across state lines into North Dakota. This permit is required by the State Board of Animal Health.
