Broome County has no countywide pet limit. City of Binghamton limits households to 4 dogs over 4 months of age without a kennel license. Municipal caps vary; rural towns typically do not cap.
Pet caps in Broome County are municipal rather than countywide. City of Binghamton Code Chapter 95 (Animals) limits each household to 4 dogs older than 4 months; owners with more must obtain a Kennel License from the City Clerk, which involves inspection and zoning review. Village of Johnson City Code Ch. 105 sets a similar 4-dog cap. Town of Vestal and Endicott limit households to 3-5 dogs depending on zoning district. Cats are generally uncapped except in multi-family housing. Rural towns such as Maine, Colesville, and Windsor impose no numerical limit. Breeders, rescues, and hobby kennels must register with the NY State Department of Agriculture and Markets under Article 26-A (Pet Dealer Licensing) if they transfer 25+ animals annually.
Exceeding the local pet limit without a kennel license is a violation-level offense typically carrying $100-$250 fines. Repeat violations can result in misdemeanor charges and may force owners to rehome animals.
