Many municipalities have ordinances prohibiting livestock and things like that, but aquaponics is a different kind of "animal" and you may be able to help educate the city officials and be involved in clearing the way for what you want to do. Being hands-on and determined is the best method and always look to educate wherever you can.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Zoning has been an issue with a few aquaculture operations (I’ve not heard of any for aquaponics yet) where local officials didn’t understand that aquaculture
is considered agriculture under Ohio Revised Code (attached). Therefore, as long as the facility is located in an area zoned for agriculture, there should not be an issue. What have others experienced?</span></div>
