Step 3 of 3: Strengthen

Ordinance Builder

Choose a standard for each of the 52 criteria in the Tracker Standard, see which Pennsylvania municipalities already adopted it, and download a draft ordinance. Local officials can use it to prepare an ordinance for their solicitor and planning commission, and residents can use it to propose ordinance language to their township, borough, or city. To start from your municipality's current ordinance, find it and use the builder button on its Rating tab.

The builder and guide summarize adopted Pennsylvania ordinances and are not legal advice. Every draft must be reviewed by your municipal solicitor and go through the planning commission review and public hearing the Municipalities Planning Code requires.
