Marana allows chickens and livestock on properties with sufficient lot size under the Land Development Code. Standard residential lots in master-planned communities generally prohibit livestock. Rural and large-lot zones permit horses, cattle, and poultry with setback requirements.
The Town of Marana Land Development Code establishes animal-keeping standards based on zoning district and lot size. Rural residential zones (R-144, R-72, R-36) permit horses, cattle, goats, sheep, chickens, and other livestock with setback requirements from property lines and neighboring residences. Standard residential zones in master-planned communities like Continental Ranch, Gladden Farms, and Dove Mountain generally do not permit livestock or poultry. Chickens in permitted zones typically require enclosures set back from property lines, and roosters may be restricted based on nuisance-noise complaints under Chapter 11-5. All animals must be maintained in sanitary conditions to avoid nuisance violations under the health and sanitation code. Pima County Animal Care Center provides animal control services in Marana under an intergovernmental agreement.
Livestock in prohibited zones: code enforcement notice and removal required. Nuisance conditions: civil penalty after notice.
