Researching Local Laws
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Many cities have a link to their city code of ordinances on their city web page, but as I have discovered, they often just reference a web page called Municode.com. This web page has compiled the local ordinances for many cities and counties across the nation. One thing you should probably keep in mind is the question: what ordinances apply to me? Municode has both city and county ordinances. If you live within city limits, you will be under the jurisdiction of that city. Otherwise you will be under a county jurisdiction. And of course, there are always state and federal laws, but you will have to go elsewhere to find them.
