Animals make wonderful companions. If you keep an animal on your property, you need to comply with our animal keeping local laws.
The laws help us to make sure that animals are well looked after and ensure the safety and wellbeing of the community.

How many animals can I have on my property?
There are limits on the number of animals you can keep on a property in Logan. Before getting a pet, you will need to check how many you can keep.
The number of animals you can keep depends on your property size. To find out the size of your property, please see My property.
If you want to keep more than the allowed number of animals for your property, you will need to apply for approval.
Multi-dwelling/sub-divided properties
Regardless of how many residential dwellings are located on a single property the allowable number of animals you can keep is based on the size of the property. For example: if a property is 1000 square metres in size, the resident is allowed to keep 2 dogs, this number remains the same even if there is a house and a granny flat on the property. If a resident on a property already has the maximum number of dogs allowed, any additional residents would need to apply for an animal keeping approval for their dog (as this would be considered as an additional animal outside of the limit of the property).
Please remember that if you rent your home you may need your landlord’s permission before you can have an animal. The landlord’s permission is separate from our laws about the number of animals you can have.
