“Help me change city ordnances in Charlestown, Indiana”

[Mothers Hen]

Hello fellow Chicken loving people "peeps!"

I need help on getting some ordnances updated and/or changed…and I don’t know where to start. We live in Charlestown, Indiana

I received a notice that I’m in violation of city ordnance because I keep a small flock in my back yard. Three of my other neighbors also received the same notice.

Does anyone have ideas or steps/procedures on getting city ordnances changed or updated?? .

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Greetings from Kansas, Mother Hen, and

! Happy you joined us but sorry to hear the bad news! My best advice would be to visit the Indiana thread in the link below and ask some locals for advice about how they may have changed the laws in their town.

And then visit this link to see how lots of folks have succeeded in taking on the law and winning!

Hello!!

I know this is old, but I recently moved to town and am also looking to have this ordinance updated. I created a petition to hopefully take a step toward getting this updated. Please feel free to sign if you would still also like to create a change in Charlestown
