Victorville, CA Animal Ordinances: Chickens & Livestock (2026)

035(3) of the Victorville Municipal Code sets the livestock and poultry allowance for parcels larger than half-acre gross, and every animal on this list requires an approved pet permit from the planning department, not just a zoning check. ' Anything larger than half-acre gross that isn't on this list, or the residential list in subsection (1), is prohibited outright under subsection (4) unless the animal control officer finds it comparable to something already listed. To get the permit, the property owner applies to the planning department, obtains signed acknowledgment forms from every owner within three hundred feet of the parcel, and pays a twenty-five dollar fee.

The director of planning can attach conditions covering the number of animals, their housing and containment, screening from view, and how long they may be kept, and any of those conditions can be enforced through permit revocation after a planning commission hearing. Keeping livestock in a way that creates flies, mosquitoes, gnats, rodents, offensive odors or excessive noise is an independently punishable nuisance under subsection (6), regardless of whether the animal itself is permitted. As with all household and large-lot pets, the code sets an overall ceiling of twelve pets per household under subsection (5).
