County Ordinances
An Ordinance is a governmental authority law enacted or amended after adoption at a required Public Hearing presided over by the County Board. Notice of the Public Hearing is published in the official county newspaper at least ten (10) days before the Public Hearing. An ordinance is the most binding and permanent act of the Board and may be repealed or changed only by a subsequent ordinance or amendment to it.
If a copy of an ordinance has not been linked to this page or a copy of an original is needed, call the Office of Administration (651-430-6014) to find where it may be viewed or where a copy may be obtained.
