Today Is Deadline For Registering Barnyard Animals In Century
February 21, 2014
Today is the deadline for Century residents to register their non-conforming barnyard animals with Town Hall.
As of December 23, it became illegal to keep a horse, mule, donkey, goat, sheep, or cow within the town limits except in areas that are zoned agricultural or rural residential. Hogs were already prohibited in all areas of the town.
One horse or cow is now allowed for every two acres, one donkey or mule per acre and one goat or sheep per one-half acre. The animals and their pens must be 200 feet or greater from a dwelling or property line.
Anyone with the regulated animals in an area not zoned agricultural or rural residential within the town limits, was required toregister their animals at the Century Town Hall withing 60 days from the passage of the ordinance. Anyone with nonconforming animals must apply for and be granted a variance from the town council within six months or get rid of their animals.

Wonder do you have to pay to have your critters photographed and paw / hoof printed along with certifications of vaccination and residency?
Do yaks and llama have to be registered as aliens?
Oh … living in the “big city” . . .
If I remember correctly, as of a few weeks ago no one had registered anything. Has anyone complied with the new ordinance yet?
NO room for Mary and Joseph at Century City Hall and now NO room for the Manger Animals. What’s next Century?
Anyone on the Century City Council got 30 pieces of silver?
