Showing ordinances that apply to Fruitridge Pocket, CA
Fruitridge Pocket is an unincorporated community (population 6,102) in Sacramento County, California. Because Fruitridge Pocket is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Sacramento County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The exotic pets rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Sacramento County follows California Fish and Game Code 2118 and Title 14 CCR 671, prohibiting most exotic mammals, reptiles, and birds without a CDFW permit. Local exceptions are narrow.
California maintains one of the most restrictive exotic-pet lists in the nation. Title 14 CCR 671 bans ferrets, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, monkeys, large constrictors, and most venomous reptiles without a CDFW-issued restricted species permit (typically only for research, exhibition, or commercial use). Sacramento County Code Title 9 adopts these restrictions and adds local nuisance remedies. Common domestic pets (dogs, cats, most small mammals on the CDFW exempt list, non-venomous reptiles under length limits) remain legal.
Misdemeanor under F&G Code; fines up to 1,000 dollars and/or 6 months jail; animal confiscation by CDFW.
