Methodology

This site reports what published municipal bylaws say, with a source and a verification date for every claim. It is not legal advice.

How a rule gets verified

Search the borough’s or city’s own site for “poule”, “poulailler”, “basse-cour”, “animaux domestiques”.
Locate the governing instrument: for boroughs, the ordinance adopted under article 66 of the Règlement sur l’encadrement des animaux domestiques (21-012); for demerged cities, their own animal bylaw.
Transcribe every number directly from the instrument’s text.
Where a point is ambiguous, email the borough or city and log the reply as a source.
Assign a confidence level: high only when the governing instrument itself was read, medium for an official summary page, low otherwise.

What the system refuses to do

No regulatory claim ships without a source URL and a verification date.
No status other than “unknown” can rest on a news article alone.
No number is ever invented. If it is not verified, the field is absent and the status is “unknown”.
A verification older than 365 days fails the build; one older than 180 days shows a banner on the page.

French is the reference language for bylaw text. English is a human translation; where it does not exist yet, the French text is shown with a visible marker.
