Ordinances

Ordinances are laws or regulations enacted by local government authorities, such as cities or counties, to address specific issues within their jurisdictions. They can cover various topics, including zoning, building codes, sanitation, traffic control, and public health. Ordinances are designed to maintain order, promote community welfare, and ensure safety. Unlike state or federal laws, which apply across broader areas, ordinances are tailored to meet the unique needs of local communities. They typically undergo a public review process before being adopted, allowing residents to have a voice in local governance.
