<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Here in Danvers, the keeping of non-household pets on a residential property is permitted by our Board of Health. The BOH regulations have standards which require that the animals are confined to the property
for which the permit is issued, but open grazing across property lines is acceptable if the neighboring properties provide confirmation/approval in writing to the BOH.
