How it affects you: Kennel Zoning Regulation Deletion

The majority of Sumner County resides in the unincorporated areas and most are not aware or concerned, until one starts operating next door to them.  All should be concerned should the county commissioners completely delete these regulations.  The regulations state how many dogs are allowed, acreage requirements, housing and welfare of the animals, setbacks of animal pens from your property, your safety and welfare.

The latest information posted about our high school has caused quite a stir.
