Even without a HOA, there are possibly other means to dissuade idiot neighbors.

Many city ordinances apply regulating no livestock or no auto repair businesses allowed in residential zones.

Are you in a neighborhood? Even with no HOA most neighborhoods have Deed Restrictions that apply. But that is tough. YOU yourself have to sue the offending party. Hopefully with the help of other neighbors who are adversely affected.

And then there’s a guy named Vito. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of Vito.

My old city banned chickens, but everybody knew there were some around. Heck, this one family near me had one that was an escape artist and I’d see it every week or three down by the street, by the mailbox, pecking away.

We shortly thereafter reversed that earlier council, and made them legal with conditions. I think no more than 6 hens, roosters not allowed, and some setback limitations on where the coops could be.

I am so grateful for our HOA.

All animals allowed, as long as it’s not a commercial/breeding enterprise.

My neighbors don’t have animals but enjoy the benefits of free eggs, goat cheese and goat’s milk soap. We do have a rooster but I’ve checked and no one minds the crowing.

Other neighbors have horses, donkeys and cows.

We made sure these things would not be an issue before we moved into this neighborhood.

Pallet fence is a nice touch.

To clarify, allowing farm animals/livestock is encoded in our neighborhood bylaws

They are renting, so they are tenants.

So now, in addition to the goat, duck and horse, we have TEN ANTS? LOL
