SB 275 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Deregulate Small Boarding Kennels.

SB 275 reduces permit requirements for small boarding kennels that serve six or more dogs or cats at a time. It directly affects kennel operators meeting this size threshold by limiting the regulatory hurdles they must navigate. The bill requires the Board of Agriculture to update its rules to reflect this change, allowing temporary rule adjustments under existing procedures. The policy change takes effect on October 1, 2025, and focuses solely on streamlining permitting for qualifying facilities.
