Contact local planning/zoning department directly

Solution

Call or visit your city or county planning and zoning department to get definitive information on regulations for your specific address.

Explanation

Websites may not be fully up-to-date or comprehensive. Speaking directly with staff allows you to ask specific questions about animal types (chickens, goats, rabbits), number limits, required distances (setbacks) from property lines and dwellings, and rules about structures like coops or sheds.

Notes

Get information in writing if possible (e.g., email confirmation, copies of ordinance sections). Keep records.
