Agriculture and Markets Law Article 26-A licenses 'pet dealers' -- anyone who sells or offers for sale more than nine dogs or cats a year for profit -- and says nothing about boarding, grooming or daycare; a facility that boards animals it does not sell is not a pet dealer under Article 26-A. A bill to create a real state boarding-kennel license, the Safe Pet Boarding Act (adds a new Article 26-D to Agriculture and Markets Law, Senate bill S8510 / Assembly bill A9123, 2025-2026 session), would require an annual Department of Agriculture and Markets license, a $150 fee, and facility inspections -- but as of this check it is still pending in the Senate Agriculture Committee (referred there January 7, 2026) and is not law. New York State is, in that sense, the same shape as Texas and Florida: no state boarding register, full stop. What is different about New York City is that the city itself runs a real, mandatory permit regime for boarding kennels -- more substantial than the county registration fees seen in Orlando or Tampa, though still a local instrument, not a state one, and not joined to facility records here.
