Kane County's Animal Control Ordinance sets no maximum number of dogs or cats per household. It does require every dog and cat four months or older to be registered and rabies-vaccinated. Cities may set their own per-household pet caps.
The county ordinance imposes no numeric limit on how many pets a household may keep; instead it regulates by registration and welfare. Every dog or cat four months or older must be inoculated against rabies and registered, with a tag (§ 8). Owners must be 18 or older (§ 2.16b), and every animal must receive wholesome food, water, shelter, and veterinary care (§ 23). Excess animals can still trigger nuisance or hoarding enforcement (cruel-treatment § 24) if care standards fail. Kane County municipalities frequently cap the number of dogs and cats per dwelling (often three to four), so residents inside a city should check the municipal code.
No per-count fine, but failing to register/vaccinate is a violation; fine $75–$500 (§ 49). City pet-limit violations are enforced by the municipality.
