Folsom generally limits households to 4 dogs and 4 cats over 4 months of age without a kennel permit. Larger residential estate lots may qualify for additional animals. Sacramento County licensing required for all dogs over 4 months.
Folsom Municipal Code Chapter 6 and Sacramento County Code §9.12 limit residential properties to a combined total of four (4) dogs and four (4) cats over four months of age per dwelling unit. Households exceeding these limits must obtain a kennel/cattery permit, which requires a zoning administrator review, neighbor notification, and compliance with setback and sanitation standards (generally only feasible in RE Residential Estate zones). All dogs over 4 months must have a current Sacramento County dog license ($20-$45 depending on spay/neuter status) and rabies vaccination. Cats are encouraged but not required to be licensed. Exotic/livestock animals (goats, potbelly pigs) are subject to separate zoning rules and generally not permitted in standard R-1 zones.
Over-limit: $100 first citation, $250 second, abatement required. Unlicensed dog: $50 plus back-license fees.
