How many animals can I have?

 

  • There may be up to four dogs per property.  Dogs are no longer required to be licensed with the Town Hall; however, licenses are available for $2 at the town hall for identification purposes should the pooch get picked up during an unexpected walk-about. All animals are required to have rabies and vaccination inoculations as required per their species. 
  • There may be up to four livestock units per property.  A property owner may petition his neighbors for the allowance of two additional short-term livestock units for youth activities only and two additional long-term livestock units, and apply for a variance for the same.  Variance requests go before the Town Council and make take up to a few months to approve so plan early.  Additional livestock units cannot be on the property before the variance is approved.  What is livestock?  Any animal other than a dog, cat or fowl and poultry.
  • There may be up to fifty fowl or poultry per property.
