Moorpark Municipal Code Title 6 generally limits residential parcels to a small number of dogs and cats combined, with kennel permits required above the threshold and rural lots subject to different standards.
Title 6 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, in alignment with Ventura County animal regulation, caps the number of dogs and cats kept at a single residential dwelling. Typical urban residential parcels are limited to a combined small number of adult dogs and cats; exceeding the limit requires a kennel or fancier permit subject to zoning review. Rural Agricultural Exclusive zones permit higher counts consistent with agricultural use. Animal Services responds to complaints and issues warnings before citations. Litters under a defined age are typically excluded from the count.
Exceeding household animal counts without a kennel permit, ignoring permit conditions, or operating an unlicensed breeding operation can trigger code enforcement citations.
