    How to get Official Copies of Ordinances

    You can view and print copies of "Official" ordinances from the St. Louis County web site.

    Official copies of ordinances include underlined text (which is new text added to the ordinance) and bracketed [  ] text (text that has been removed from the ordinance). Since the Official ordinances have new and old text included, they have a larger volume of pages than the Unofficial User-Friendly ordinances.

    To search for an Ordinance, Resolution, Agenda or Journal, please visit the St. Louis County Council Ordinance Archive site.
