Orland Park prohibits keeping chickens, roosters, livestock, and farm animals in residential districts. Only traditional household pets (dogs, cats, small caged birds, fish) are permitted on residential lots.
Orland Park's animal control ordinance (Title VII) and Land Development Code prohibit keeping farm animals, poultry, and livestock in all residential districts. This includes chickens, roosters, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, horses, and similar animals. Backyard chicken-keeping has not been authorized despite trends in nearby municipalities. Only traditional household pets are allowed: dogs, cats, small caged birds, aquarium fish, and similar small companion animals subject to other limits. Limited exceptions may exist for legitimately zoned agricultural parcels (rare in Orland Park) or with special use approval. Cook County Animal and Rabies Control also has jurisdiction over animal nuisances. Contact Orland Park Code Enforcement at (708) 403-6225.
Keeping prohibited animals can result in fines of $100 to $500 per animal per day until removed. Animals may be impounded by Cook County Animal Control. Repeat violations escalate.
