Jupiter limits households to 4 dogs and 4 cats over 4 months of age under Town Code Sec. 4-15 aligned with PBC Ord. 98-22. Exceeding this requires a hobby breeder or commercial kennel permit.
The 4+4 cap is typical for Palm Beach County municipalities. Puppies and kittens under 4 months are not counted. A hobby breeder permit (up to 8 animals) requires USDA-style inspection and 250-dollar annual fee. Commercial kennel licensing adds zoning review. PBC rabies vaccination and licensing is required for every dog over 4 months. Cat licensing is encouraged but not mandatory townwide. HOAs in Abacoa and similar communities often cap households lower (2 dogs common).
Excess pets without permit 250 dollars plus potential removal order. Unvaccinated dog 250 dollars and mandatory PBC ACC vaccination.
