Full Notification

Currently farm-type animals (livestock) are not allowed on residential properties in Ely except for chickens. Council directed staff and the P&Z Board to work on an updated ordinance that would allow small farm-type animals on larger acreages. The city is now looking for resident input to see if this is something council should consider adopting. A summarized description of the ordinance can be found on the City website at the following link: https://www.elyiowa.com/home/news/farm-type-animals

To read the full draft ordinance, view the document hyperlinked on the city website at the above link.
