Animal Structure - Does a horse or livestock shelter/feeding structures need building permits?
YES, in most cases.
There are no open feedlots permitted for horses and/or livestock.
You must check with Collier County Building Department customer service. If the Collier County Building Division determines no permit is needed, the shelter/feeding structures will still need to be a minimum of 30 feet from any lot line, and a minimum of 100 feet from any residence on an adjacent parcel of land.
