“Need to Know” Ordinance Updates
The Perry City Council, with the support of the Ordinance Committee, has been reviewing, clarifying, and updating the City’s ordinances. Ordinances (both codified and zoning) define many of the rules and requirements that define the expectations for our city government, businesses, and residents. They are intended to help maintain public health and safety, zoning, public morals, behavior and general welfare of the city.
Information regarding all the City’s ordinances can be found on our website. Located using these links “Charter/Ordinances” or “Zoning Ordinances”).
