Standards for Keeping Chickens

Please review and save these standards for keeping chickens before applying for a chicken permit.

 

Chicken Permit

Residents who currently keep chickens or are interested in keeping chickens will need to secure a chicken permit which is good for a two year period and can be renewed. You can apply for a permit via the City of Troutdale's Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal. Just click on the apply button and either scroll or search for "Chicken Permits". Click here to register an account or contact our office for more details.

In the meantime, please call Community Development at (503) 674-7229 if you have any questions.
