Placer County zoning Section 17.56.050(F)(16) limits households to four dogs, four cats, or a combination of four in RS and RM residential zones; up to eight is allowed with a private kennel/cattery permit. Limits rise to six (and more with permits) in agricultural and forest zones.
Placer County caps the number of dogs and cats per household through zoning Section 17.56.050(F)(16). In the RS (Residential Single-Family) and RM (Residential Multi-Family) zones, a household may keep no more than four dogs, four cats, or a combination not exceeding four total (animals four months of age or older). Up to eight may be permitted with an Administrative Review Permit for a private kennel/cattery; commercial kennels/catteries are not allowed in these zones. In the -AG combining zone, the base limit is six (up to 12 with a private kennel permit). In the RA (Residential-Agricultural) and RF (Residential-Forest) zones on parcels under 4.6 acres, the base limit is six (up to 15 with an Administrative Review Permit, and more than 15 with a Minor Use Permit). On AE (Agricultural Exclusive) and F (Farm) parcels, the base limit is 15 (up to 25 with a private kennel permit). The combined total of dogs and cats may not exceed the zone's maximum regardless of whether the animals are pets, breeding, or show animals, unless a kennel permit is obtained. A 'kennel' under Chapter 6 also triggers a County kennel license for anyone who breeds or offers for sale more than two litters of dogs per year or who boards/trains dogs.
Keeping more dogs or cats than the zone allows without the required Administrative Review Permit or Minor Use Permit is a zoning violation subject to abatement under Article 17.62. Operating an unlicensed kennel is also unlawful under Chapter 6 (Section 6.08.010(E) and 6.12.040).
