Eagle Mountain, UT Animal Ordinances: Chickens & Livestock (2026)

080, Residential Livestock Requirements, governs any residential lot from a half acre up. 99 acre, no horses or mules are allowed but up to 2 cattle, 2 donkeys, 2 llamas, 4 emu/ostrich, 4 sheep/goats or 2 pigs may be kept, each needing the listed fenced area per animal (2,500 square feet for cattle, donkeys and llamas; 500 square feet for emu/ostrich, sheep/goats and pigs). 99 acres the caps roughly double (4 cattle, 4 horses/mules, 8 sheep/goats), and lots of 3 or more acres shift to a per-acre formula, for example 4 per acre for cattle, donkeys and llamas or 5 per acre for sheep, goats, emu and ostrich.

A half-acre-plus lot inside the equine overlay zone may keep two horses or mules even though the base table shows zero for that lot size. Any animal a reasonable person would call half the size of an average adult of its kind, including unweaned offspring, counts as only a half-unit toward the maximum. 020 requires all animal areas citywide to be adequately fenced to prevent escape, located in rear or side yards, and limited to barns, corrals, pens or similar structures rather than the home or other accessory buildings; no more than six birds or flying animals may be kept within 1,000 feet of an airport.

030. 95 EMMC, including a public hearing; code enforcement or the animal control officer can revoke that permit if the approved management plan is violated or becomes a nuisance to neighbors.
