A:
In Columbus, Ohio, the number of dogs you can keep on a property depends on zoning laws and local ordinances. Generally, residential areas have stricter rules about the number of pets allowed, while industrial zones may have different regulations, especially if the animals are not considered pets but part of a business operation. However, even in industrial areas, there can be health, noise, and sanitation codes that limit the number of animals based on space, care, and safety concerns.
You might need to check the specific zoning for your property to know what rules apply. Columbus has zoning classifications, and animal control ordinances may vary depending on where your property falls. If your business involves dogs, like breeding or boarding, there could be additional permits or inspections required.
It’s always a good idea to contact the Columbus city zoning department or animal control for accurate and up-to-date information. They can provide specific guidance based on your location and plans. That way, you can avoid any potential issues with local authorities.
