Conroe has no zoning-based prohibition on chickens or small livestock, but animals must not create a nuisance under Chapter 10 and Chapter 26. Roosters are generally not permitted due to nuisance complaints. Deed restrictions in many neighborhoods prohibit poultry.
Because the City of Conroe has no zoning ordinance, there is no citywide classification that prohibits chickens or small livestock on residential properties. However, Chapter 10 (Animals) requires that animals not create a nuisance. Chapter 26 (Environment) provides additional nuisance authority for odor, noise, and sanitation issues. Community forums report that chickens are allowed without a permit, but roosters are not permitted. Many Conroe subdivisions have deed restrictions prohibiting poultry and livestock on residential lots. Residents should verify deed restrictions before keeping backyard chickens.
Nuisance citations up to $2,000 under Ch. 10 and Ch. 26 for animals causing odor, noise, or sanitation issues.
