Backyard Chicken Registration Form

Every domestic chicken (hen) kept on a residential lot that is less than 1 Acre, is required to be registered with the City. Registration is free but mandatory, and may be made by submitting a Backyard Hen registration form by mail, email, or online. The Surrey Chicken Keeping Bylaw explains all of the rules and requirements for keeping backyard hens, including the minimum lot size; the size and location of your coop; how to protect the health of people living in the area; as well as ensures that the hens are treated humanely.

Please fill in this backyard hen registration form and submit it to the City of Surrey. If validated, a confirmation email of your validated registration to keep hens will in most cases be provided by the City within 7-12 business days.
