Snellville city limits zoned residential; chickens and livestock generally prohibited in standard R-zones. Agricultural uses require specific zoning district or large-lot exception.
Snellville's urban suburban character (Gwinnett County) means most residential zoning districts do not permit livestock, including chickens, goats, or pigs. Unlike unincorporated Gwinnett County, Snellville does not have a widely-used backyard chicken ordinance. Verify current zoning with Snellville Planning Department (770-985-3511).
