Ordinances

Listed are all ordinances approved by the Ferndale City Council. Not all ordinances reflect a change to city code, known as codification. Ordinances are codified if they are general, permanent, and/or include penalty provision for noncompliance. “Not codified” indicates that the ordinance could have been codified but was not for some reason (e.g., superseded by a later ordinance, codified in a separate publication). “Special” means the ordinance was special in nature or for a specific period of time (e.g., budget, annexation, tax levy, street vacation).

Please visit the Ferndale Municipal Code for the most up to date version of city laws. What follows are all ordinances, including historical ones that may no longer be in effect.
