2860684 · April 3, 2025

Summary

City staff described updated guidelines for backyard chickens: coops up to 100 square feet, most yards allowed up to five hens, and properties larger than a half-acre may host up to 10.

Tyler, an animal control officer with the City of Deltona, summarized updated guidelines for keeping chickens in the city and directed residents to the city website and Animal Control for details.

Tyler said coops may be up to 100 square feet without additional permits and most properties can have up to five chickens. "If you live on more than half an acre, you can have up to 10," he said. He provided a phone number and the animal control page on the city website for permit details.

Doc Dougherty also referenced the updated chicken guidelines in his opening remarks. City staff did not provide ordinance numbers, permit fees, or detailed permitting steps during the remarks; Tyler directed residents to cityofdeltonafl.gov and to call Animal Control for more information.

The remarks were informational; the transcript does not record any formal action or change to city code during the meeting.
