Tucson FAQ
Does the limit count puppies and kittens?
Litters under a defined juvenile age are typically excluded for a short grace period. Once they reach the cutoff or are weaned, they count toward the household total under Chapter 4.
Can I get a permit if I exceed the limit?
Yes, by applying for a kennel-class permit and meeting UDC standards for setbacks, noise, and waste. PACC and Tucson Planning review the request together before issuing the permit.
