Livermore limits households to approximately 4 dogs and 4 cats per single-family residence. Exceeding the limit requires a kennel permit.
LMC 6.08 and Alameda County animal regulations cap household pet numbers on standard residential lots — typically 4 dogs and 4 cats combined maximum without a kennel license. Licensed breeders or rescue operations require a kennel permit from Alameda County Animal Services and additional zoning approval. Rural/agricultural parcels permit higher counts. All dogs 4+ months must be licensed and rabies-vaccinated with Alameda County.
