Are farm animals allowed in residential zoned area?

No. Residential zoning districts do not allow for chickens, roosters, goats, and all other farm animals.  

However, the city does allow for chickens only, if the resident follows stick code requirements and attends training classes to obtain a restricted permit for a limited period of time.  

Please see a Code Compliance Officer by calling 407-877-5136, or go to the Code Enforcement Division in downtown City Hall (300 W. Plant Street) for specific details to obtain a chicken permit.
