Babylon limits households to 4 dogs and 4 cats combined without a kennel license under Chapter 79. Exceeding limits requires a special permit and Planning Board review.
The Town restricts the number of dogs and cats per household to prevent nuisance conditions and disease. Kennels (defined as 5 or more dogs) require a kennel license, inspection, and conformity with zoning (generally Agricultural or Light Industrial districts only). Fostering through licensed rescues is exempt with prior notification. Violations trigger inspection by Suffolk County SPCA and possible animal welfare review.
First violation 100 to 250 dollars. Unlicensed kennels may be ordered to reduce count within 30 days.
