Why chickens and/or roosters are considered a problem?
Chickens and/or roosters can disturb the peace and quiet of a neighborhood and strain relationships with neighbors. They can cause noise, odors, and attract flies and other nuisance insects. They make it difficult for neighbors to spend time in their yards, noise can disturb their sleep, odors force people to keep windows closed, and interferes with the enjoyment of their homes. If you have any questions regarding the “conditional use permit” and county zoning codes, please contact the Planning Department Public Information office at (916) 874-6221 or email at sacplan@saccounty.net.
