Lubbock County sets no pet-number limit for unincorporated homes. The City of Lubbock caps a residence at four adult dogs and four adult cats over sixteen weeks; keeping more requires a multipet permit valid up to two years.
Texas counties cannot cap pet numbers, so unincorporated Lubbock County has no dog- or cat-limit ordinance. The City of Lubbock (Code section 4.01.003) limits each residence to four adult dogs and/or four adult cats over sixteen weeks old, plus no more than one litter of puppies and one litter of kittens. Anyone wanting more must apply to the director of animal services for a multipet permit, which is valid up to two years and expires March 31 of the second year following approval.
Exceeding the limit without a multipet permit is a class C misdemeanor in the City of Lubbock, with each day and each animal a separate offense.
