What are the limited amount of pets that I may have on my property?
National Guidelines on Pet Limits:
Although there is no centralised law, several sources indicate commonly adopted guidelines across municipalities:
Dogs:
• 2 dogs over 6 months old in a dwelling unit (e.g., apartment or sectional title).
• 3 dogs in a freestanding house (single dwelling).
• 4 dogs in a large dwelling house (on a plot exceeding 600m²).
• 6 dogs on an agricultural property.
Cats:
• Up to 4 cats on most residential properties.
• Up to 6 cats on agricultural properties.
These numbers are not absolute and depend on the specific municipality.
For example, the Johannesburg Dogs and Cats By-law (2006) specifies:
• No more than 2 dogs in a dwelling unit.
• No more than 4 dogs in premises with one or two dwelling houses.
• No more than 6 dogs on agricultural property.
