Redondo Beach allows a maximum of three dogs and three cats (at least four months old) per residence. Dogs over four months must be licensed; cats are not licensed. More animals require treatment under the kennel or nondomestic-permit rules.
City licensing materials and RBMC Title 5, Chapter 1 establish a three-animal cap: no more than three dogs and three cats at least four months of age may be kept on any lot or premises. Dogs over four months must be licensed within 30 days of acquisition or moving to the city (RBMC 5-1.105), carry current rabies vaccination, and wear the metal license tag; altered animals pay lower fees. Cats are not required to be licensed. Late dog-license penalties escalate ($25 over 30 days, with added collection fees at 60 and 90 days). Keeping animals beyond the residential cap implicates the city's kennel/permit provisions, and nondomestic animals (chickens, livestock, exotics) require separate permits under RBMC 5-1.401.
Exceeding the three-dog/three-cat limit or failing to license a dog over four months is enforceable under RBMC Title 5, Chapter 1 by Animal Control. Unlicensed dogs and late renewals incur escalating penalties and collection fees; over-the-limit or commercial-scale keeping may
