Ordinances

Information regarding the general ordinances published for the City of Rockford may be viewed, saved, or printed online at the Municipal Code Corporation website, and/or by contacting the Council Clerk by email or by phone at 779-348-7391. The online code is actually only as current as the last supplement, which may not be posted for several months. Due to recent budgetary constraints, we have been unable to maintain the latest version of the Code of Ordinances online. For up-to-the-minute information, email the Council Clerk. Copies of the City of Rockford Code of Ordinances can also be found at the Rockford Public Library and Winnebago County Law Library.

In addition, many other ordinances are passed by the City Council, which are not published in the Code of Ordinances book or even on the Municipal Code Corporation website. Here are the links to these additional City Codes: Mechanical/Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, Building Codes, Energy Code, Property Standards/Existing Structures, Fire Code, and the latest digital version of the City of Rockford Zoning Ordinance (PDF).
