Unincorporated Snohomish County limits a household to 25 dogs. SCC 6.06.008 makes it unlawful to own, keep, or maintain more than 25 dogs on a premises. Licensed pet shops, boarding facilities, and animal shelters are exempt from the cap.
SCC 6.06.008 (Limitation on Number of Dogs) provides that it is unlawful for any person to own, keep, or maintain on their premises more than 25 dogs, with licensed pet shops, boarding facilities, and animal shelters exempt. Kennels and breeders beyond household numbers fall under the SCC chapter 6.06 kennel/private-kennel licensing framework. There is no separate county cap on the number of cats. The 25-dog ceiling applies to unincorporated county; incorporated cities set their own, usually lower, pet limits.
Exceeding 25 dogs without a qualifying exemption or license is unlawful under SCC 6.06.008 and enforced by Animal Control; operating an unlicensed kennel can trigger additional penalties under chapter 6.06 SCC.
