Winter Park residential properties limited to 4 dogs and 4 cats (or any combination totaling 8 animals) under City Code Chapter 14. Larger numbers require a kennel permit and commercial zoning.
The per-household cap applies to dogs and cats over 4 months old. Puppies and kittens under 4 months are not counted against the limit. Exceeding the limit without a kennel permit triggers a code enforcement case. Kennel permits are only available in commercial zoning (not residential) and require neighbor notification and public hearing. Licensed foster homes for Orange County Animal Services or recognized rescues may apply for a temporary variance.
$100 per animal over limit. Continued violation $250 per day until compliance. Animals may be ordered surrendered to Orange County Animal Services.
