Nassau County sets no countywide pet-limit cap. Most towns and villages cap dogs at 4 per household; some villages (Rockville Centre, Floral Park) cap combined dogs-and-cats at 4 to 6 animals.
Hempstead Town Code 55 limits dogs over 6 months of age to 4 per dwelling unit without a kennel license. Oyster Bay Code 79 has a similar 4-dog cap. Village rules vary; Garden City requires a kennel license for more than 3 dogs. Cats are less commonly capped but villages with cat limits typically set 4 to 6. Nassau County Department of Health and NCPD Animal Control enforce.
Typical fine 100 to 500 dollars. Over-limit animals may be required to be rehomed or covered by a kennel license.
