Licensed family daycare homes in unincorporated Ventura County are protected by CA HSC 1597.40-1597.46. Small family daycare (up to 8 children) is permitted in all residential zones by state law and cannot be prohibited by zoning or HOAs.
California Health & Safety Code 1597.40 designates small family daycare homes (up to 8 children) as a residential use permitted in all zones allowing residential uses. The county cannot impose additional zoning conditions beyond state requirements. Large family daycare (9-14 children) may require a use permit depending on the zone. Community Care Licensing (CCL) under the California Department of Social Services handles all licensing and inspections. HOAs cannot prohibit small family daycare homes under state law.
Operating unlicensed daycare (caring for children from more than one other family) is a misdemeanor under HSC 1596.99 with fines up to $200/day. Large daycare without a required use permit violates zoning. Contact Community Care Licensing for the local regional office.
