St. George, UT Animal Ordinances: Chickens & Livestock (2026)

St. George City Code § 10-7B-1 lists "Urban hens and rabbits" as a permitted accessory use across every R-1 single-family zone (R-1 through R-1-40): up to 6 adult hens and 4 adult rabbits per 1,000 square feet of lot area, capped at 16 animals per lot and 10 rabbits total. A coop, pen or cage up to 8 feet tall and 200 square feet is allowed only in the rear yard, at least 20 feet from the lot line unless a solid perimeter fence separates it, with required effective manure management. The city's own definition of "urban hens" covers hens only, and roosters do not appear anywhere in the R-1 use table.
