Welcome to theCity of AuroraColorado

The city of Aurora allows residents to have chickens and ducks on residential properties. A city permit is required and must be obtained before having the animals on your property. Residents are highly encouraged to do their research before applying for a permit. 

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) have the authority to prohibit chickens or ducks within their bylaws. If you live in a HOA, check with your HOA to see if these animals are allowed before applying for a permit.
