Dog Ordinance - Lacey, WA?

[BlueHorse17]

Please relocate if in the wrong area. I know that it isn’t for chickens, but I was wondering if someone could please help me find the dog ordinances for Lacey, WA? Wondering how many we are allowed to have.

Look under "permitted use" and "prohibited use" sections of the type of zoning your property is in. I looked at two to check they were there.. both said pets such as dogs are permitted. Neither gave a number of dogs allowed. Kennels are prohibited. There is a definition of kennel in the definitions section.

This also has a section "animals" that includes the restrictions on how residents may keep dogs but it also doesn't give a number. It says all dogs need to be licensed. Amomg other things.

Thank you so much! That is what I was kind of confused about. It mentions it but doesn’t give any numbers.

Check Pierce Co ordinances, you may be limited by county instead of by city codes. I used to live in Lacey but don't recall if there was a limit on # of dogs or cats.

Thanks! It does go by county (Lacey is Thurston actually). Regardless I got my answer though!

Oh duh, you're right. Pierce is the next up.
