How would homeowners with large animals, such as horses, be affected?
Owning one or two large animals, such as a horse, within the city limits requires 1 acre of property per horse. For three or more large animals, 1.5 acres per animal is required. Large animals require a permit from Animal Control. If a property owner is annexed, but can’t meet these lot area requirements, the large animals may remain under certain conditions, but may not be replaced. Section 6.04.30 of the Lincoln Municipal contains the regulations regarding large animals in the city limits.
