Sioux Falls Ch. 90.20 caps the number of dogs and cats per household and requires kennel licensing once a residence exceeds the standard pet count.
Under Sioux Falls Code Ch. 90.20, residents may keep a combined total of four dogs and cats over six months of age per dwelling unit without a kennel license. Households exceeding that count must obtain a kennel or hobby breeder license through Sioux Falls Animal Control, meet zoning requirements, and pass an inspection. The cap is intended to limit nuisance complaints, sanitation issues, and neighbor disputes. Service animals and recently fostered animals from licensed rescues are generally exempt from the count.
Exceeding pet limits without a license is a city ordinance violation with fines beginning near 100 dollars and may trigger removal orders if conditions are unsanitary.
