You are soooo right!! I lived in the city of Milwaukee my whole life where I
could have 3 dogs on my postage stamp city lot. While considering my current
property, I asked the township if I could license my 3 dogs at the time, they
said, "No Problem." The real estate agent said it was OK, and quite frankly,
it never crossed my mind that with 8 acres, I'd have a 2 dog limit. The
township licensed the dogs every year with no issues, even when the numbers of
licenses I purchased got higher. I just recently bought a lot in a different
area to build on and, after learning all this "county" stuff, made SURE I
wasn't going to have any problem.. LOL Your clause in your purchasing contract
is a great idea, btw.
Your fellow club members' experience is EXACTLY why many don't even try to
apply for the county license. Once you're turned down, you're screwed. Either
move or find homes for your dogs. I also think it is unacceptable that
townships don't know the county rules until they're forced to look it up after
a formal complaint is filed. Not everyone understands how zoning works. I
agree you should, and I do NOW, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one
who had a township mislead them into believing they were in compliance with the
law.

Although I had a marvelous buyer's agent, I didn't leave that little (NOT!)
detail to her. When I was in the process of looking for a new place, I
purchased township regs (yes, they actually sell them, lol), wherever I was
interested in purchasing so that I had a clear understanding of the rules.
Well,
in come cases, the rules were clear as mud, and in others they actually
contradicted themselves, so I actually had a clause inserted into my agreement
of
sale when I actually wrote an offer that I would receive a letter of
understanding to my satisfaction from the township solicitor clarifying said
regulations. (Which I obviously received, or I would not have gone though w/
the
purchase.)
I know one of our regional club members, Gina, that went through what you
did, trusting her realtor that everything was just fine, except that it
wasn't.
She was never able to get a variance and after spending lots of money to
improve her property was informed she had to get down to 4 dogs. So she
moved....costly lesson, but one that I learned for sure!
I would have spent more than one sleepless night in your shoes, then I would
have thrashed the real estate agent for making me go thorough that!
But seriously, for anyone buying property, the time to have all of your
demands fulfilled is before you do the deal, and with something as important
as
understanding what compliance re dogs is, I'd never leave that to someone else!

My real estate broker, who was informed specifically to look for areas that
allow multiple dogs, assured me that my 8 acre hobby farm was just that. I
went to the townhall, bought 5-10 dog licenses, depending on which year it
was, and believed I was in compliance with the law. It was at a town hall
meeting that I realised that the township rules were different than the
county.
Also, that the county rules RULE! Some poor dog owner, not unlike myself,
received a complaint regarding the number of dogs on their property. Since
they didn't have a proper "county" kennel license, they were ordered to
decrease
the number of dogs they owned within a specified amount of time, or face
daily fines until compliance.
