Ocoee limits households to 4 dogs and 4 cats over 4 months of age per residence. Kennel licenses required for more than 4 of either species. Orange County Animal Services issues licenses.
Ocoee Code of Ordinances Chapter 4 (Animals) adopts Orange County Code Chapter 5 by reference for animal control within city limits. Orange County Code §5-213 sets the four-dogs and four-cats cap per dwelling unit for animals over four months of age; households exceeding that threshold must obtain a residential kennel or cattery permit and meet setback and sanitation standards. All dogs and cats over four months must be licensed annually by Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) and current on rabies vaccination per FL §828.30. Licensing fees are reduced for spayed/neutered animals. Ocoee does not operate its own shelter; impounded animals are transported to OCAS facility at 2769 Conroy Road, Orlando. Multi-pet households in HOA-governed neighborhoods (Sawmill, Forest Oaks, Prairie Lake Reserve, Westyn Bay) often face stricter private limits than city code.
Orange County civil citation $100 to $500 per animal over limit; repeat offenses and unpermitted kennels can trigger code enforcement liens and mandatory surrender of excess animals.
