Think this goes here: kennel zoning?

I'm interested in finding out more about buying land that is zoned for breeding or having a kennel (for a training center or just keeping more than a few dogs). Do those of you with a lot of dogs have specially zoned parcels or do you just live far enough away that neighbors don't complain about dogs barking. How would I go about finding what is zoned for what, seems complicated. Is farm/ranch or commercial zoning enough?

 

check with your county.my friend had dogs and the neighbor came to him with something from the county and it spelled out he could only have one dog per acre and things about fowl and horses. strange

 

Yeah that's the problem I'm having. I am planning on moving and would have to check county by county within two states I am totally unfamiliar with. thanks though. I may just try to narrow down land and then contact realtors about zoning one by one.

 

I am in Real Estate. You will need a diligent Realtor. The county needs to be checked, the city if it falls into a city limits, the subdivision and HOA if it has one and then you will need to check local laws regarding becoming a kennel and what is required and expected. It will require some work.

 

thats why im so glad i got in on mine when i did, 17 years ago...bumbf*cked Egpt...good luck Mag

 

Thank you very much, that's sort of what I thought but with the details I didn't know about. I guess I will need to pick some counties and then find a Realtor in each to work with. Exactly what I needed to know! I appreciate your help.

Thanks Lee D, I know it will be a pain but there's some great places I am looking at in the South. Really can't wait to move back down there but want to make sure all of my ducks (dogs) are in a row before I do anything. I'm not yet sure to what extent I want my yard to go (training facility or just breeding-personal) but I want to make sure I don't get stuck somewhere where I'd have to move to do what I want in the future.
