I looked into it but haven't yet. The county put together a permit application and a packet with info and a checklist. Both the permit app. and the checklist indicate a physical inspection o the property. I can't tell if it would be the case or if it leftover language from the Annapolis packet (the Annapolis packet was used and the content was reworked to apply to the new AACO law). I would be a little reluctant to apply since I already have chickens (have for a while) and the coop is too close to MY house (although it meets all the other stipulations). When someone applies, let us know how it goes!
