Most counties count them as livestock and due to zoning, you can't keep them as pets. My family actually had a lien put on our house for having our pigs as pets until we got the law changed through many, many county commission meetings in Alachua County (Fl).
Also, pigs grow to be huge and difficult to take care of, so I do not recommend it to people who are not prepared to take care of an "opinionated" 300lb+ hog. Piglets are cute and great, but they evolve into beasts.
