Iowa Residents Can Have Chickens
But only if their neighbors don't mind
IOWA CITY — Iowa City will join the growing ranks of towns that allow people to keep chickens in city limits.
The City Council last night adopted an ordinance that sets a permit process for so-called urban or backyard chickens and, in a separate vote, approved a policy establishing rules for keeping chickens — including a provision that gives someone the power to veto a neighbor's request for a permit.
