Can I keep cows, llamas, chickens or other farm animals at my residence?
The Zoning Code allows for some animals in some locations but there are limits to the number of animals relative to the available, “free-roaming” space and requirements for shelter/containment and distances from adjacent properties. Call to check before you bring such an animal into the City Limits.
