The City's Animal Control program was established in 2004 to assist the citizens and animals of Torrance. The goals and objectives of the Animal Control Section are to reunite lost pets with their owners, help sick or injured animals, educate the public when dealing with wildlife, human investigations, and impoundment of lost or stray animals. Animals found by the Torrance Animal Control are only kept a short time at our facility. To learn more or to locate your lost animal, click here.
Animal Control is also responsible for the issuance of animal licenses and the enforcement of local and state laws pertaining to domesticated and wild animals. To download additional information about our Animal Control program, click here. Licenses purchased at the Animal Control Office can be paid via cash or check (no debit or credit cards).
NOISE NUISANCE COMPLAINT PROCESS (Use link above for Complaint Form):
Initial Complaint - "Letter of Complaint" mailed to animal owner
2nd complaint (within 30 days of last complaint) - "7 Day Order to Comply" mailed to animal owner
If an additional complaint is received within 30 days of "7 Day Order to Comply" - case is sent to mediation (South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution)
If case fails mediation - complainant will be mailed a petition. The complainant then is required to obtain 3 signatures from 3 separate households before the case can be sent to Court for prosecution.
During this process, if no additional complaints are received within 30 days from the last complaint, the matter may start over with a "Letter of Complaint" mailed to the animal owner.
