Code of Ordinances

E360 Code

The Borough has contracted General Code to provide citizens with an easier way to access our Borough Code. The E360 Code allows you to enter a certain word and it will provide every part of our Borough Code with that word in it. The program allows us to access the relevant information you are seeking in a much quicker and more efficient manner. The program only stores the ordinances that have been codified and is usually about one to two years behind on current ordinances, therefore, we recommend that you check with Borough Hall if you are researching a more recent Ordinance.
