Livestock in Madison Park

Posted in: Madison Park

Does anyone know the legality of having livestock (mainly hens) within city limits?

Legal with a permit:  

 

Let me guess E. Woodlawn area? I have had someone mention to me about a location that appears to be an issue already.   You have to have a  permit.  You can make a call to 311 to have the location checked out if you have a problem.  I don't know if your issue is in that area or not but regardless you can call 311 and make a report. It will be checked out by animal control or code enforcmeent.

 

Permits 
 

There are two situations in which you will need a permit to maintain your animals.

Livestock- If you wish to maintain any equine, cloven-hoofed animal (cattle, goats, etc.) livestock or domestic fowl (chicken, turkey, pigeon...) a permit is required. Before a permit is issued, the premises must be inspected to ensure that the animal(s) has adequate shelter or its cage meets the minimum space requirements. We will also make sure that the animal(s) does not endanger the health, safety, peace and quiet of nearby residents. A permit costs $40.00 and must be renewed annually.

Here is one that some might not know in the area on cats and dogs...3 or more frequently kept outside.

 

Three or More Dogs or Cats- If you have three or more dogs or cats (in any combination) four months of age or older frequently kept outside, you will need a permit. The main purpose of this permit is to make sure that noise or odor caused by the animals will not interfere with a neighbor's use and peaceful enjoyment of his property. This permit cost $40.00 and is valid as long as the owner is in compliance with the terms of the permit.

This is the application for the permit.  You must list the property owners and contact info for all properties that adjoin your property to get any of the permits above.   You must submit 5 neighbors total and again all that adjoin your property. 

 

Hope This Helps
