On a condo, apartment, or townhome lot, or any lot under 5,500 square feet, up to two dogs of either size are allowed as pets with no license; a hobby breeder license raises that to four small dogs or three large dogs, and a short-term dog-sitting license allows the same number temporarily.

The permitted count climbs with acreage: on a lot between one and ten acres, four dogs are allowed as pets and a hobby breeder or pet-sitting license permits eight; on 10 to 20 acres those licensed counts rise to 12, and above 20 acres to 16, with kennels on those larger parcels requiring planning commission approval. A footnote to the table caps hobby breeder and pet-sitting counts as the total number of dogs allowed on the property, and any exception beyond the table's numbers requires an alternative animal management plan approved by the planning commission, which can be revoked if the plan becomes a nuisance to neighbors.
