City hall can provide you with a copy of ordinances.

So sorry about your situation. Here's link to your areas ordinance: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/johnson-city-tennessee-chicken-ordinance


It states not allowed, but has not been updated in a while, and hopefully there have been changes. It does give a link to the ordinances, don't know it that is still available. If not, check with the mayor's office, county clerk, or area agriculture agent.

Ok. From what I have found so far the policy was changed to allow them in 2012. But that was just on the news/city website etc... nothing about the guidelines. ..
