Horse Property for Sale in Fillmore, CA

Fillmore horse property at a glance

• One residential zone lists horses: Each Fillmore ranch for sale here has the MLS Horse Allowed box checked by its listing agent; no permit is implied. The City’s residential use table, as of 2026, lists keeping of horses only in the RPD Rural zone, and only with a Development Permit.
• Acre lots in RPD Rural: The code pairs detached single-family homes at zero to one unit per net acre with agricultural pursuits there, and sets a one-acre lot area.
• Open Space and commercial stables: The City’s Open Space zone allows animal pasturing or ranching and commercial stables with a development permit. A commercial stable needs 20,000 square feet; its cap climbs from two horses up to one net acre to 100 on 15 or more net acres, with no horse within 35 feet of a neighbor’s home.
• Most of ZIP 93015 is County land: City limits hold about 3.3 square miles, so roughly 96 percent of the ZIP’s land lies outside them in the 2020 Census relationship file. County zoning governs there: Agricultural Exclusive (AE) requires 40 acres of lot area, and a large equine (above 58 inches at the withers) carries 1.00 animal unit.

County animal units, fencing and shade

Under the County’s Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance, as of 2026, AE, RA and RO lots of one acre or larger allow animals of 1.0 unit or more at four units plus one for every 30,000 square feet past the first 30,000. Animals must be fenced, corralled or penned on their own property, except during exercise or moves on and off it, and held at least 40 feet from dwellings on neighboring lots. A portable shade structure may stand 12 feet tall with no more than 1,000 square feet of roof and does not count toward lot coverage. Inside the City, letting livestock, horses included, run at large on another’s land without permission, or on streets and public places, is an infraction.

Fillmore horse property questions, answered

Does the City plan for riding trails?

Policy LU-33 of its General Plan Land Use Element calls for accommodating trail systems, including equestrian and bicycle trails, and the Open Space designation lists an equestrian center. Neither names a route, so check a parcel’s actual riding access.

How do I check the rules for one listing?

On County land, enter the Assessor Parcel Number into the County’s What’s My Zoning lookup. Inside City limits, ask the Planning Department for the zone and any horse permit on file.
