Within the next few weeks a few local farm supply businesses will begin the annual selling of chickens, ducks, and other poultry. 

 

As a reminder, agricultural uses, to include chicken and farm animal husbandry is prohibited within residential zoned subdivisions, and lots less than 1 acre in size.  This is in accordance with O.R.C. 519.21. Please ensure you check any local codes, zoning regulations or HOA regulations before purchasing these animals. 

 

American Township provides an Educational, 4H, and FFA exemption for school age students. Residents seeking permission to raise poultry or other livestock in residential areas, may seek relief through the Board of Zoning Appeals, through the variance process. 

Contact the zoning office, for further information.
