I believe what you are asking for varies from county to county and municipality to municipality. You should be able to find your information on the web by accessing the web site of your county/municipality. From there you would have to select the link for zoning.

Typically anything zoned residential is not supposed to have livestock. Anyone can have up to 1 of any kind of animal as that can be declared as a pet.

That's all changed with the backyard chicken revolution. Many cities and counties are allowing them now, as they should.

Livestock are generally not allowed in any urban residential zoning category. Rural residential is a separate class. However, there are always exceptions, variances and special circumstances...there is a case going on right now in Volusia County involving a little autistic boy's need for chickens.
