I hope your hens are doing well. I am the one that changed the ordinance in Centerville. I am looking to expand the number of hens allowed. I was told to wait a few years for the city to see if things are going ok since this is a newer ordinance. I am also going to see if they can lower the permit fee. I think they have the permit at 75 is to keep people from getting chickens that don’t take it seriously. Good luck.
Sounds more like an extortion fee
