Cities cap household pets before a permit is needed. Coon Rapids requires a multiple-pet permit for any combination of four or more dogs and/or cats. Blaine treats four or more animals of one type as a private kennel requiring a license.
There is no countywide pet-number limit; each city sets its own. Coon Rapids Sec. 6-205 requires a multiple-pet permit for a "multiple pet location" - four or more dogs, cats, or any combination over six months of age - and Sec. 6-204 requires a kennel license for larger operations, allowed only in certain zones. Blaine defines a private kennel as premises with four or more domestic pets of one type over four months old, requiring a kennel license and conditional use permit (Sec. 14-187). In practice, up to three of one type is allowed without a permit; keeping more triggers licensing.
Keeping four or more pets without the required permit or kennel license is a code violation; Blaine violations are misdemeanors (Sec. 14-30), and the city may require the animals' removal.
