...is the letter I plan to send to my County Commissioner. Anything to add?? (Now i just have to find some people to sign a petition to include!). *I found someones letter on here, and tweaked it.
Dear Commissioner,
We are Hernando County residents sincerely interested in living more...

So I should request a zoning variance, to allow my property to be zoned Residential/Agricultural, in order to fit into the zoning district that allows chickens? Or I guess, what exactly should I be asking for?
(I'm not in an HOA so I'm not worried about that). I tried searching...
So I guess I'll go to the county and ask how to propose a new ordinance or am I trying to change an existing ordinance?
I think the chances of them granting a zoning variance is slim... I have never had much to do with my local gov, so I just don't know where to start. I can build a case as...
If anyone has about 20 minutes to kill, this is the "ANIMAL CONTROL" Municode for my county.

The bigger obstacle I'm seeing is that there is currently no clear ordinance about keeping chickens. I am sending my DH down to town tomorrow to start the legwork with the county, but I am not hopeful. I think it would be easier to get them to change an existing ordinance as you did -...
we were planning originally to get 4. I am reading and reading the ordinances, and although it doesnt say that you CAN have chickens, it doesnt exactly say you CAN'T. I wish I had just stayed naive and not been so RESPONSIBLE! I'm very torn. They also make these ordinances and code so...

I've seen 50 acres with a small house for 75K - 100K in Missouri. I don't know about the wrap around porch deal, but Missouri is a lot of land for not much money.
I've been looking lately for very similar specifications. I have found that the following places are very cheap right now... Not sure what prices will be in 5 years. Rural MO, AR, KY, WV, WY, ME.
Google the words : Lands of _____ (name a state). Lands of Missouri will show you stuff in...

I have PM'd 2 of the "Spring Hill" members, and they are actually in northern Pasco county so don't have any way to assist. I'm in southern Hernando. I guess for them it's easier to say Spring Hill than to say Shady Hills or Hudson (2 other Pasco towns which use the name Spring Hill).

Trust me, I was as surprised as you. Some areas of Hernando County and Spring Hill allow chickens: if the land is zoned as agricultural/residential. Because I live in a Residential area, I am not allowed to have them.
I called the zoning department, animal services and the code...

The city has workers whom must be paid. Some parts of their jobs are covered by tax $; however, requests to do things differently require extra work. Is it fair to ask other citizens to pay for what will benefit only you? This is the reason for building permit and plann assessment...
