Livestock (horses, cattle, goats, sheep) are prohibited in Euless residential zones under Code Chapters 10 and 82. Hogs are broadly banned citywide. 1+ acre ag zones may qualify with setbacks.
The Euless Code of Ordinances Chapter 10 and Chapter 82 (Zoning) prohibit the keeping of cattle, horses, goats, sheep, mules, donkeys, and other livestock on residentially zoned lots. Larger parcels, generally 1 acre or more in certain zoning districts, may permit a limited number of livestock with strict setback requirements from dwellings and property lines (typically 100 feet or more). Hogs, swine, and pot-bellied pigs are broadly prohibited within city limits due to odor and zoonotic disease concerns. Euless is a largely built-out suburban city with very little agricultural land, so livestock keeping is rare. Violations are Class C misdemeanors with fines up to 500 dollars per day.
