Thanks to an 11-year-old in Oro Valley, folks in the town can now raise certain livestock on their property like chickens, miniature goats and bee colonies.It all started when Savanna Randall asked the town if she and her family could raise chickens in May 2023. What she, and her dad Ben who accompanied her, didn’t expect was that her simple request would lead to the Oro Valley Town Council changing its rules on small livestock.
Before the council’s decision, Oro Valley’s zoning codes on small livestock hadn’t been updated in 20 years. Additionally, the state legislature also passed a bill this year limiting a town's ability to ban the possession of chickens.While hens are permitted, roosters are not. Any livestock must also be for 'non-commercial purposes on detached single-family residential properties, and to assure properties remain compatible with neighbors by adopting appropriate standards.
