What's the pet limit law for Norwalk, CT?
Q:I live in Norwalk, CT. What is the state limit for cats and one bird?
A:Check with your city and county clerk to find out if there is a pet limit law in your vicinity. Laws limiting the number of companion animals one may keep are generally local, not statewide. These laws tend to be enforced when neighbors complain about noise, odors, animals running at large, or when the property where the animals are kept is being used as a boarding kennel, breeding facility, or for another commercial activity. However, municipalities do not always rely on complaints to enforce their pet limit laws. Although there have been a few successful challenges to pet limit laws, courts have tended to uphold the validity of such laws.
