Coop Ready Arizona Marana
Depends on your zoning
It depends on your zoning. Check your parcel's zoning district with Marana before you buy chicks.
In ER and NR, no chickens between the house and the front lot line, and small coops (6 ft tall, 16 sq ft or less) only need to sit behind the house. Arizona's state hen law guarantees 6 hens on lots of half an acre or less, so a small NR lot still gets 6.
Hen limit
1 per 1,000 sq ft (ER, NR zones); 6 (GR); 40 per acre (AG, RA)
Roosters
Banned except AG and RA zones
Permit
No (a conditional use permit only in MR and RR zones)
Coop placement
ER and NR: coop 20 ft from any home on another lot; GR: 20 ft from the neighboring property line
