Rooster Ordinances (REF260024)
Monterey County
Description
New zoning rules cap roosters at one per non-agricultural parcel, two on 2-5 acres, and five on 5-plus acres, replacing the old permit system; existing operations get one year to comply.
Impact summary
Large rooster operations in residential neighborhoods must shrink or relocate within a year; backyard flocks remain allowed everywhere.
