H 404 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

URBAN AGRICULTURE – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for residential chicken ownership.

H 404 allows residential chicken ownership in Idaho for single-family homes on lots of at least 0.25 acres, directly affecting homeowners in these properties. It prohibits deed restrictions or covenants from banning chickens and permits homeowner associations to set reasonable rules about manure, odor, or roosters, while requiring owners to manage chicken health and liabilities. The bill does not apply to apartments, smaller lots, agricultural zones, or areas where local zoning already permits poultry.
