After a little bit of searching, I found the following rule through the "Portland Online" website. Under chapter 13.05.015, <em> Permit Required for Specified Animal Facility</em>, part E, A person keeping a total of three or fewer chickens, ducks, doves, pigeons, pygmy goats or rabbits shall not be required to obtain a specified animal facility permit. If the Director determines that the keeper is allowing such animals to roam at large, or is not keeping such animals in a clean and sanitary condition, free of vermin, obnoxious smells and substances, then the person shall be required to apply for a facility permit to keep such animals at the site.
