Your chicken coop permit is valid until Dec 31st every year, so in early December the coty starts mailing out notices to renew. It’s simple to fill out:
1.) Location of Building – place your address in this section
2.) Contractor/Applicant – fill out your contact info, like name, email, phone #
3.) Work to be Performed – write in “chicken coop renewal inspection”, or simply “chicken coop”
4.) Signature – don’t forget to sign it!
5.) Send it back in with your permit fee of $35, and the city will contact you to schedule a date/time for coop inspection.
I highlighted the areas to fill out in the pic above, if you have any questions contact the city clerks office, they’re happy to help!

this may not be politically correct but just want to say how glad I am that I finally got another post from you. Several months ago, I wrote thanking you for giving us chicken lovers a place to brag and bring our concerns. When I wrote that post, I had a different email addy which was: foreverhere@comcast.net. I had to change my email addy and now it is foreverhere1@yahoo.com.
In my previous post I ask about keeping my flock cool during this past extremely hot summer and you gave me some excellent advise. Glad you found me again someway and hope I keep receiving you post and advise which I have found so helpful!
glad to be of help, and that you enjoy the blog! 🙂 I might only post every few months, but I’m glad that I can contribute to the health and wellbeing of other flocks.
