Bylaws are municipal laws that define the basic standards for maintenance and activities intended to keep our city clean, healthy and safe for everyone. A wide range of activities are regulated and enforced based on consistency and fairness, while ensuring public safety and maintaining community harmony. The primary goal is to achieve voluntary compliance through communication and education prior to enforcement.
