Chicken Enclosures - Do chicken or other fowl/poultry enclosures need building permits?

Category: Animal Services

Yes, in some cases.

Contact the Building Permits and Construction at: (239) 252-2400. If the Collier County Building Department determines no permit is needed, the enclosure will still need to be a minimum of thirty (30) feet from any lot line, and a minimum of one-hundred (100) feet from any residence on an adjacent parcel of land.

This issue would need to be taken care of by the Collier County Building Department and not Domestic Animal Services.
