Are chickens legal in Tullahoma, TN city limits?

U_Stormcrow Wow you're fast! I popped out for the weekend and came back to all these messages! We had found the part about the 20 birds etc, etc, but a lot of that passage didn't look as familiar. I'll have to look up her zoning and see what it is. Thank you for the help!

Yes*, they are, with significant limitations, see here (beginning at page 198 - physical page 199)



tl;dr?

IF you have a large enough property, AND you have the right zoning, then you *may* have up to 20 birds per acre, PROVIDED that they are in an enclosed coop/run AT ALL TIMES, that the structure be located at specified distances from all property lines SUBJECT TO minimum height and square footage requirements, AND ALSO cleaned daily, and droppings disposed of in the proscribed manner.

Zoning Map is here

So, unless Tullahoma TN is rather rural, and the properties commensurately large, there's a decent chance that the prior owner, and the chicken keeping neighbors are all in violation of local ordinances.

Easy. Faster, when not using a cell phone. Admittedly, it helps to know what to search for - I've had some practice.

Thank you!
