Hello. I just purchased a home in Idaho Falls, ID.... well, I thought so. It turns out my home is technically in the county, but not the city, which I didn't know until I moved in and set up utilities.
Keeping a small backyard flock was at the top of my list of home requirements and the city codes of Idaho Falls allows for it. In fact, all the surrounding cities allow hens in residential areas. Well, come to find out, the county does not. I am beside myself! My neighbor was just turned in for her animals, however others in the same community have flocks. To my knowledge, this is the first complaint. I have no idea what to do. I'm writing to see if there are others in this situation. How do you get the county to come into line with the neighboring cities? I'm so confused as I thought if the city allows something, of course the county does.
