Chickens & Livestock: Corona vs Moreno Valley

Corona generally restricts chickens and livestock to agricultural and equestrian zones, with limited allowances in some single-family residential zones depending on lot size. Roosters are typically prohibited in residential areas due to noise. Coops must meet setback requirements from property lines and dwellings. Sanitation is enforced by Code Enforcement and Riverside County Animal Services.

Moreno Valley allows backyard chickens in most residential zones subject to lot size, setback, and number limits. Roosters are generally prohibited on smaller residential lots. Larger livestock such as horses and goats are restricted to Rural Residential and Agricultural zones with specific minimum lot sizes.
