West Jordan limits households to 3 dogs and 3 cats over 4 months of age. Multi-pet permits are available for a fee with inspection. Licensing is required annually for all dogs.
West Jordan Municipal Code Title 6 (Animals) caps residential households at 3 dogs and 3 cats over 4 months of age. Puppies and kittens under 4 months do not count toward the limit, supporting short-term litters and fosters. A multi-pet permit application must be filed with West Jordan Animal Services (7373 South Redwood Road) and requires a property inspection verifying adequate shelter, fencing, waste management, and neighbor notice. Dog licensing is mandatory annually under Utah Code Section 10-8-65 delegation and city code, with a current rabies vaccination required. Altered (spayed/neutered) dogs pay a reduced fee (approximately $10 to $15 per year); intact dogs pay more (typically $30 to $50). Service animals and medical assistance animals are exempt from the numerical cap under ADA and Utah Code Section 62A-5b-104. Foster volunteers working with registered rescues can apply for a foster exemption. All cats three months or older must be vaccinated against rabies per Salt Lake County Board of Health Regulation 2 even though cat licensing itself is not mandatory.
Exceeding the limit without a multi-pet permit: Class C misdemeanor, fine up to $750. Unlicensed dog: $50 citation plus license back-fees. Surrender or permit compliance typically required within 30 days.
