Riverside County pet grooming businesses must meet zoning under Ordinance 348, obtain a county business license, comply with Public Health sanitation standards, and meet Ordinance 630 humane-handling rules.
Pet grooming operations in unincorporated Riverside County require commercial zoning under Ordinance 348 unless operated as an approved home occupation. Mobile groomers operating from vans need a separate business license tied to the registered business address. Riverside County Public Health enforces sanitation, water disposal, and chemical handling standards. RCDAS Ordinance 630 humane handling rules apply to restraint, drying equipment, and supervision; cage-dryer deaths trigger cruelty investigations. Wastewater discharge into storm drains is prohibited under Ordinance 645 stormwater rules.
Operating without proper zoning or licensing risks closure orders. Cruelty incidents, chemical-disposal violations, or rabies-vaccine lapses among bathed pets trigger fines starting at $250.
