Sanitation
Setback for a poultry / animal house from the boundary
Austria
There is no single nationwide setback for this zone. Building and neighbour rules differ by federal state and can be refined by the municipal zoning and development plan. Check the current state law and the authority responsible for the exact parcel.
Distances and rules
A building for poultry or small animals is kept further from the boundary than an ordinary shed, for sanitary reasons — odour, runoff and noise should not disturb the neighbour. The exact setback depends on the country.
Official parcel check
Confirm the distance under the current Bauordnung, zoning/development plan and the competent municipal or district authority.

Important limitation
This is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the local land-use rules, easements, the network/utility operator’s requirements and neighbour buildings.
