Pinal County requires a kennel permit for any residence housing five or more dogs. A Class I Non-Commercial permit allows up to seven dogs; a Class II permit allows up to twelve on larger parcels.
Pinal County Animal Care & Control administers kennel permits under the county animal ordinance. A kennel permit is required for all residences that house or maintain five or more dogs. A Class I Non-Commercial permit allows no more than seven dogs at a given address; a Class II Non-Commercial permit allows up to twelve dogs on a residential parcel of one acre or more. Fees are $150 (or $75 if all dogs are altered) for Class I and Class II, with higher tiers for commercial kennels. Fewer than five dogs need no kennel permit, though each dog over three months old must still be licensed and rabies-vaccinated. Cities may set their own household pet caps.
Keeping five or more dogs without a kennel permit is an ordinance violation; Animal Care & Control may cite the owner and require permitting or removal of excess animals.
