Chapter 1 : In General

10-102 : Permit required to keep livestock in proximity to residence or business.

No person shall keep any cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, or mules within one thousand (1,000) feet of any residence or place of business in the city without a permit therefor from the health officer. The health officer shall issue a permit only when he shall find that the keeping of such an animal in the yard or building under the circumstances as set forth in the application for the permit will not injuriously affect the public health. Any person aggrieved by the health officer 's decision in such cases may appeal the decision to the board of mayor and aldermen. (Ord. #93-5, June 1993)
