Raising Chickens in Greenhills

There has been a renewed interest and surge in the number of residents wanting to keep chickens on their property. Greenhills Code Section 1125.03 outlines the regulations for urban agriculture – which includes chickens.  They include the following:

1. You must submit a Zoning Certificate Application to our office (available on our website) along with plans / drawings for any cages, coops or enclosures. All agricultural structures must be set back 20 feet from the property line and can be located in the rear yard only.
2. No roosters, geese, turkeys or predatory birds are permitted.
3. Small animals for agricultural purposes must be kept only in conditions that limit odors, noise and the attraction of insects and rodents so as not to cause a nuisance or health hazards to occupants of nearby buildings or properties.
