The LORE map indicates chickens are legal in the City of Sarasota. That's theoretically true, but as a practical matter people with chickens are subject to a fifty dollar a day fine. The City Manager or his designee can issue a permit, but it can only be temporary and there apparently needs to be some public benefit. We don't know anyone who has such a permit, and our sense is the City Manager has no interest in starting. We're are working hard to change this situation and having LORE misrepresent the situation weakens both our campaign and the credibility of LORE.
