Euclid allows up to 4 hens on residential lots with a backyard coop. No roosters permitted. The city enacted its backyard chicken ordinance as part of a broader urban agriculture initiative for its east-side neighborhoods.
Euclid regulates backyard poultry and livestock by zoning district. Residential zones typically allow a limited number of hens (4 to 6 common) with no roosters. Coops must meet setback requirements (usually 25 to 50 feet from neighboring homes). Coops must be kept clean and sanitary. Larger livestock (goats, pigs, horses) typically restricted to agricultural zones with minimum lot sizes. Some cities require permits for any poultry. ORC §519.21 prevents townships from restricting agricultural use on agricultural land.
Unauthorized livestock: removal order. Nuisance conditions: $50 to $250/day. Roosters in prohibited areas: immediate removal.
