As of 2023, Davis County allows every household a total of three animals, no matter which city you live in. Keeping a fourth pet requires an additional pet permit costing $100 per year with conditions.
Davis County Animal Care & Control standardized the household pet limit to three animals countywide in 2023, overriding the varying city caps. To keep a fourth animal, owners must apply for an Additional Pet Permit ($100 annually) and meet requirements including spay/neuter verification, microchipping, current county licensing for all pets, and a property inspection. The permit is discretionary and can be denied or revoked for violations. The limit is designed to prevent overcrowding and animal-hoarding conditions while giving responsible owners a path to keep more.
Exceeding the limit without a permit is an animal-control violation; the additional pet permit can be denied or revoked for noncompliance.
