Now You Know - Drafting Effective Ordinances (RBR 13)

Now You Know - Drafting Effective Ordinances

Are your ordinances tailored to your township’s needs and vision? Ordinances can be used to protect residents and retain the character of your community. Join MTA legal counsel for an overview of statutory authority for both zoning and non-zoning ordinances, and get tips for drafting effective ordinances.

This is part 1 of a 3-part series. Why three parts? Because properly written and enforced ordinances not only boost your credibility, they limit public complaints and assist with fair and effective enforcement. One important topic in three bite-sized pieces. 

Note: Separate registration is required for each part in the series. Click on the above links for more info. 

Bonus! Parts 1 and 2 each count as full credit for Chapter 13: Ordinances in MTA's Red Book Ready program.
