Legislation
Every year the Municipal Council of Norristown passes laws and enacts rules and regulations aimed at ensuring public safety, promoting government efficiency, and improving the quality of life of everyone who lives, works, or visits our community.
Resolutions & Ordinances
Norristown's Council fulfills these obligations by taking official action by two means: resolutions and ordinances. A resolution is a general statement of the Municipality's position or policy on a particular subject or topic, while an ordinance is a local law that regulates persons or property and usually relates to a matter of a general and permanent nature.
Finding a Specific Law or Ordinance
Each January, municipal staff submit all of the ordinances enacted by Council in the previous year to be included in Norristown's General Codes and Laws. The General Code, along with outlining Norristown's Municipal Charter, encompasses every law (ordinance) that is active and applicable to living, working, or visiting the Municipality.
Finding a Specific Resolution
Unlike Ordinances, Resolutions are not permanent in nature and are therefore not included in the General Code and Laws of Norristown.
