City Ordinances

A city ordinance is a type of law, rule, or regulation made by a city government.

Ordinances are intended to address issues of local concern and applies to people subject to the city's jurisdiction. They have the equivalent power and force of a statute. When a new city ordinance is enacted, it will be listed here for a brief time (typically a year or two).

All Development Ordinances (PDF) are located in the Planning and Zoning Department.

All city ordinances are available online at American Legal Publishing Corporation. This site is updated annually and may not contain some of the more recently passed ordinances.
