Troy limits households to 3 dogs without kennel license. Other Rensselaer County towns typically allow 3-5 dogs. Kennel license required from town clerk for more.
Pet limits are set by municipality. Troy Code Chapter 101 caps dogs per dwelling unit at 3 without a kennel license. East Greenbush (Code Ch. 113) permits 3 dogs over 4 months old; Schodack, Brunswick, and North Greenbush each allow 3-5 dogs depending on lot size. Kennel licenses are issued by the town clerk upon inspection and typically cost $25-$100 annually; kennel operations must meet AGM 107 requirements including separate dog run, minimum 35 sq ft per dog, and sanitation. Cats are generally unregulated by number but may trigger hoarding nuisance enforcement. All dogs over 4 months must be licensed annually under AGM 109 and rabies-vaccinated under Public Health Law 2145.
Troy Code 101: $50 first offense, $100 second, $250 third per additional dog. Unlicensed dog: $25. Operating kennel without license: up to $250 and/or 15 days under AGM 118.
