Dog numbers and kennel permission
Residents may not keep more than three dogs at a premises under the ordinary rule. A qualifying kennel is a separate licence category, generally rural and subject to zoning, not an automatic fourth-dog tag.
Keep each tag connected with the correct dog and give the municipality the needed owner and animal details. Call Customer Service about uncertain categories rather than using another municipality’s age or fee.
