Comment on Provo’s Zoning? by Roger Brown

Roger Brown — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:56:18 +0000

Hi, yes, I think you’re talking about in R zones (residential zones). In A (agricultural) zones, i think anything is allowed.

#1 – in all R zones, roosters are not permitted under any circumstance:

“hen chickens (and no roosters) regardless of age, in the amount set forth below, may be kept on a lot or parcel of land in a residential (R) zone for the sole purpose of producing eggs.”

#2 – the # of hens allowed depends on the square footage of the property — the maximum no matter how large the property is, is 6 hens — to see the chart, go to — http://www.provo.org/council.citycode.html
Click on “Title 8: Animal Control” and then scroll down to “8.02.190. Keeping Chickens.”

And then you have to go the City Center (351 W. Center St. — open Mo-Th’s from 7am to 6pm) to get a Permit for $15.

P.S. And to get a map of all the different zones in Provo, go to http://maps.provo.org/downloads/Current%20Zoning%20Map.pdf OR
go to http://maps.provo.org and type in an address at the top right, then on the little pin on the map you’ll click Details.
Zones can be anything like R1 through R6, RC, A11 through A140, M, etc., etc.

Are residents of Provo allowed to keep chickens? If so, how many? Are roosters permitted under any circumstance?

Comment on Provo residents, debt is debt is debt!!! by Roger Brown

Roger Brown — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 21:29:02 +0000

Thanks! Yeah, wish I would have thought to write a letter to the editor a week ago!!! Only 14.3% of registered voters actually voted for it. A far cry from a majority. Maybe we can repeal it through a referendum/initiative from the people?! Or maybe those 8,629 peeps can agree to pay $216.79 EXTRA per year for 30 years! That’s right, instead of $31 extra per year they can take on the whole thing instead of placing it on us. Very sad but maybe we can still do something about it.

Excellent article! I couldn’t agree more. I voted against proposition 1. I wish that every member of Provo could have read this article before they voted. Thanks for the work you do Roger!
