Can I have chickens on my property?

Yes, in February 2016, Town Council approved a new urban agriculture ordinance, which grants permits for backyard hens under certain conditions. Owners must meet setback and other requirements to qualify and must pay an annual fee. Permit applications are available online and at Town Hall. Chickens are also allowed in the Town’s agricultural zoning district.
