San Bernardino County household pet limits are set by Title 3 and the Land Use Code. Residential parcels usually allow up to four dogs and four cats over four months old. Larger parcels in agricultural zones may keep additional animals with kennel permits.
Title 3 caps dogs and cats per household in unincorporated areas, while the Title 8 Land Use Code references kennel and cattery permits when totals exceed limits. Parcels zoned RC, RL, or AG can apply for kennel or commercial animal permits with site-plan review. Mountain and desert communities often have stricter HOA caps that supersede county minimums. Exceeding limits without a permit triggers code compliance investigation, potential animal removal, and zoning enforcement actions.
Code enforcement notices, civil penalties under Title 1 fine schedules, and permit revocation for kennels. Animals over the cap may be ordered relocated to compliant facilities.
