Code of Ordinances

The Clerk’s office keeps a hard copy of the official Murray Code of Ordinances. If there is a specific section that is needed, stop by or contact the City Clerk for faxed or photocopied pages. An unofficial online version of the Code of Ordinances is now available at: http://www.amlegal.com/murray_ky/

Process of Codification
Once an ordinance is proposed, discussed, and made official through 2 official readings at separate City Council meetings, it is officially passed and signed by the mayor and city clerk. The ordinance is codified and put into book form by a 3rd party codification company. The codification process extracts necessary information and compiles and organizes it in a way that makes it legally presentable in document form. The original ordinance is still valid, but the “chapter and verse” codified ordinance is what is most commonly referenced.
