In order to follow and enforce local ordinances, people must know how to find a copy of the laws. Codification is the way municipalities make it easy for people to find and read the laws they are expected to follow. Codification is nothing more than gathering together all the ordinances passed by the governing body and organizing them by subject matter in a book called the "Code of Ordinances". This book gives each ordinance a permanent identifying number and creates a table of contents and index so people can easily look up the law.

 

Anyone may, by visiting the Auburn Hills City Clerks Office, review the City's Code of Ordinances or purchase a copy.

 

The City of Auburn Hills has gone one step further to make its ordinances even more accessible and easy to search.  The Code of Ordinances is available online through the following link.  This on-line version allows the user to search for all references to a particular subject.
