Springdale, AR Animal Ordinances: Chickens & Livestock (2026)

Section 14-12 limits livestock keeping to property zoned A-1, or as the zoning ordinance separately authorizes, and flatly excludes any platted subdivision from that allowance even where the subdivision itself carries an A-1 designation. A companion nonconforming-use rule, Sec. 14-13, lets a livestock use that predates a property's annexation into the city continue despite the zoning conflict, but only until it is discontinued for six months, after which the land must conform. The rules apply citywide, across both the Washington County and Benton County portions of Springdale, since the code governs uniformly within the corporate limits regardless of the county line.
