Ordinances

An ordinance is a local law of general or permanent nature.  An Ordinance is created to protect the rights, safety, and comfort of the residents.   Usually, an ordinance is enacted in response to problems and complaints, as well as state law requirements.  An ordinance stays on the books until it is amended or repealed by another ordinance enacted by a later board or council.  Here are several of Greenfield Township’s ordinances:
