Municipal Law

Municipal Law is the specific to cities and counties. These are usually referred to as “municipalities,” and the government within those cities or counties. This can cover a wide range of issues, including everything from police power, zoning, education policies, and property taxes.

Local city or town councils are primarily responsible for creating municipal law. Since council members are elected from the town’s residents, local residents have great control over municipal law, which can vary greatly between municipalities. If you believe you have a municipal law issue, be sure to consult an attorney familiar with the ordinances in your area.
