Town Codes
The Elwood, Utah, Code of Ordinances—also referred to as the Revised Ordinances of Elwood City—governs the affairs and actions of the town, serving as the standard for protecting our community's health, safety, and welfare through the orderly application of adopted ordinances that supplement and adhere to Utah Code.
Elwood Code is enforced by different authorities as indicated by the Chapter (e.g. Traffic Code is enforced by the local law enforcement agency, Zoning Code is enforced by the Zoning Administrator, etc.). The town's goal is to provide residents, developers, and other interested parties with information on town governance and how to conduct business with the city.
