Re: Residential Chicken Keeping—City Ordinance 602.11
Dear Mark& Heidi:
Please be advised that the keeping of chickens within the City of Oak Park Heights does require
an annual permit and is subject to the regulations set forth in City Ordinance 602.11.
It has been brought to my attention that you are keeping chicken(s) and rooster(s) at your home.
Roosters are not permitted as part of chicken keeping allowances. The keeping of chickens
without a permit from the City is a violation of City Ordinance 602.11.
A residential chicken& duck keeping application is enclosed for your use. This application
packet does include City Ordinance regulations within the information.
If you wish to keep chickens at your home,please complete and return the enclosed application
to me no later than June 1, 2022 and have any roosters removed from the property. If you opt
against chicken keeping entirely, please notify me in writing (email is fine) of this selection and
have all chickens and roosters removed prior to June 1, 2022.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Your prompt attention is appreciated.
Sincerely,
PLANNING & CODE ENFORCEMENT
