## Licensing

California does not license or inspect dog boarding and daycare facilities at the state level. There is no state agency, no state license number, and no state inspection record for a boarding kennel. What California has is a statewide standards law: Health & Safety Code Chapter 11, 'Pet Boarding Facilities' (§§ 122380–122388, SB 945, in force since 1 January 2017). It applies to any premises boarding four or more pets for compensation, sets operating standards (daily observation, isolation of sick animals, owner notification of illness, written care policies, a fire alarm or sprinkler system, limits on time in temporary enclosures) and a written pre-boarding disclosure to the owner — but it creates no license and is enforced only by local animal control, humane or peace officers issuing notices to correct, with fines of up to $250 and then $1,000. Kennel licensing is local: San Diego County Code § 62.641 requires a kennel license from the Department of Animal Services for premises keeping seven or more dogs over four months in the unincorporated area, and the City of San Diego adopts the County ordinance by reference and contracts its animal services to San Diego Humane Society, which charges a $150 kennel-license application fee that includes an on-site inspection. Those are county and city permits, not a state regime, and they were not joined to facility records.
