Chandler regulates chickens and livestock on residential property through Chapter 14 (Animals) of the city code. Keeping farm animals depends on zoning district, lot size, and animal type.
Chandler's animal ordinance (Chapter 14) addresses keeping chickens, livestock, and farm animals on residential property. The number and type of animals permitted depends on the zoning district and lot size. Roosters may be restricted or prohibited in certain residential zones due to noise concerns. Animal enclosures must be maintained in sanitary condition and not create nuisance conditions for neighbors. Animals must be kept in appropriate enclosures and not allowed to run at large. Chandler Animal Control enforces the animal code and responds to complaints about livestock on residential property.
Keeping livestock in violation of zoning restrictions or maintaining unsanitary conditions results in animal control enforcement. Violations may require removal of animals and payment of fines.
