Unincorporated Palm Beach County limits households to 4 dogs and 4 cats over 4 months of age in residential zones. Hobby kennel permits are required for 5 to 10 dogs; commercial kennel licensing applies above that.
PBC Code §4-29 sets the household limit. Hobby Kennel Permits ($50 annual) are reviewed by Animal Care and Control and require lot size of at least 0.5 acre, secure containment, and neighbor notification. AR-zoned western parcels are exempt. Foster homes registered with approved 501(c)(3) rescues may exceed limits temporarily.
