By strict federal law, in the U.S., you cannot keep any bird of prey (raptor). Specifically, you can't buy, sell, keep, kill, harm, or harass one. You can't even own a dead one.
It takes very special permits to be an owl caretaker.
However, if a barn owl decides to live in your barn or owl box, and you don't interfere with it, that's OK. In some areas, it is legal to own a non native species of birds of prey, which includes owls, but I wouldn't take the chance unless you know for sure.
