Rule #1: Permits are required for any St. Paul resident keeping more than one chicken in the city. Submit your application to the St. Paul Animal Control Center within the Department of Safety and Inspections.
Rule #2: The written consent of at least 75 percent of your neighbors within 150 feet of your property is required before you bring your flock home. Don’t worry about owners or occupants of property across the street; you won’t need their consent to meet St. Paul’s legal expectations. And don’t be intimidated by that large apartment building down the block. You don’t need a signature from every unit; simply ask the building’s owner or manager for approval.
Rule #3: Roosters, with bad reputations for noisy cock-a-doodle-doos and feisty behavior, are not allowed. If you’re going to keep your own coop within city limits, it will have to be for hens only.
Rule #4: Provide for the basic needs of your chickens with a fenced enclosure, backyard coop, rodent-proof food containers, and an appropriate means of disposing chicken waste.
