Tyler allows up to six fowl per household in non-agricultural zones regardless of lot size, with coops set back 15 feet from side and rear lines. Livestock is one animal per fenced acre, capped at three; hogs and swine are banned citywide.
Under Code Sec. 14-13, residents outside AG zoning may keep no more than six fowl per household regardless of lot size, while AG zoning allows six per acre. Coops must confine the birds, sit at least 15 feet from side and rear property lines, and stay behind the front-yard setback. The ordinance sets no separate rooster ban, but crowing that disturbs neighbors falls under nuisance rules. Livestock is limited to one animal per fenced acre, up to three animals, with pens 100 feet from any property line and fencing 50 feet from lines. Hogs and swine are prohibited inside city limits.
Keeping excess fowl, swine, or unpermitted livestock brings removal orders and Class C misdemeanor citations up to $500. Unsanitary pens are a public nuisance with escalating fines.
