Bellevue, NE chicken permit

[Wolftrooper]

Has anyone gotten a new chicken permit in Bellevue, NE after the 2011 grandfathering. I have checked and they insist on having some form of verification of being part of some club such as 4H in order to apply for a new permit. Surprisingly the lady at the planning office suggested this website, but I have not found anything about new permits in Bellevue. Please if you know how to get the verification needed to get a new chicken permit in Bellevue, NE I would really appreciate the answer. Thanks.

I have run into the same issue was asked to provide proof of 4h membership or similar. Did you ever get your permit.

 

[Mr. Rate]

Has anyone been through this process lately? How did it go?

I’m going thru this right now. When I called they also said I had to belong to a group like 4H or backyard chickens. I’m trying to figure out how to prove I joined. Anyone have any advice?

 

[Mr. Rate]

KHoovie,

Thanks for the heads up! I plan to start the process in the next couple of weeks myself and was wondering what I was up against.

Mr. Rate,
I called and talked with Angela in the plans department of Bellevue today. She was very helpful and nice and sent me the form, the rules and an aerial view of my house so I can show her where I’m going to put the coop and run.
I’m a little bummed because I had designed a pretty nice chicken tractor that we could move so the whole yard could be fertilized and debugged. But now I’m redoing my plans so it fits within what they want.
I wish you luck on all this! Let me know how it goes

 

[Mr. Rate]

It is great to hear she was very helpful! Thanks for the info! I will be her a call.

Thank you! My family is moving to Bellevue next month and will be on an acre of land. I was told that we could definitely have chickens, but after purchasing our home realized it’s not that simple. Is being a member of this group sufficient enough to get the permit assuming my coop and run meet all of the standards?
