It is important to have certain guidelines and regulations to help keep our village a safe and pleasant place to live.
We have a Municipal Code Book – these ordinances have been enacted and revised by our Village government over the years. This book is available below, or by appointment at the Village Administrative office 3131 Taylor Ave Building 1, or through any elected or appointed official. Our Village Administrative office is open during all posted meetings, elections, and special hours as posted.
In a small village such as Elmwood Park, the enforcement of our ordinances has been on an informal basis, and in most cases this works. We do have the power to enforce our ordinances through the Racine County Sheriff’s Department and levy fines as necessary.
