Laredo limits the number of dogs and cats per household to a combined total typically around 4 to 6 animals. Exceeding the cap requires a kennel or multi-pet permit and compliance with zoning and setback rules.
The City of Laredo caps household dog and cat ownership through the Land Development Code and animal chapter of the municipal code. The typical cap is 4 to 6 animals combined, over four months of age, per single-family residence. Households exceeding the cap must apply for a kennel, cattery, or multi-pet permit, which requires zoning compliance, setbacks, and sometimes neighbor notification. Foster homes working with the municipal shelter or approved rescues can receive exemptions. Rabies vaccinations are required annually under TX Health and Safety Code 826. Hoarding cases are referred for joint health-and-welfare intervention.
Warning plus 75 to 300 dollar citations. Excess animals may be impounded.
