Temple Terrace follows Hillsborough County pet limits of 4 dogs or cats per household in residential zones. Exceeding requires a kennel or multiple pet permit. Enforcement is complaint-driven.
Hillsborough County Animal Ordinance, adopted by Temple Terrace by reference, caps household pet numbers at 4 dogs or 4 cats (mixed counts allowed to a total of 4-6 depending on specific zoning). Breeders and hobby fanciers with more animals must obtain a kennel permit and comply with zoning. Puppies and kittens under 4 months typically dont count toward the limit. Foster arrangements through approved rescues can exceed the limit with paperwork. HOAs frequently cap at 2-3 pets.
Warning first. $100 citation for excess pets. $250 for operating a kennel without permit. Referral for seizure possible for hoarding.
