The same page says there are no regulations for cats or other domestic or wild animals, so no cat limit is stated. The dog rules sit in the [Dog Control Bylaw No. 729-2010](<https://chasebc.ca/bylaws>).\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Backyard hens: a maximum of four hens per parcel in permitted residential areas. See the backyard chickens answer.\n- Any exceptions to the 3-dog limit, and the fine for keeping more, are not stated on the Village's pages. Ask the Village Office on 250-679-3238.\n- Each dog over 4 months old needs a licence.","sources":[{"url":"https://chasebc.ca/dog-licences","title":"Dog Licences, Village of Chase","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://chasebc.ca/backyard-hens","title":"Backyard Hens, Village of Chase","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://chasebc.ca/bylaws","title":"Bylaws list, Village of Chase","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://chasebc.ca/animal-control","title":"Animal Control","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/chase/how-many-pets/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/chase/how-many-pets.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/chase/how-many-pets.json"}}
