City law

Statutes

Statutes are legal provisions issued by the city council that primarily regulate the municipal affairs and facilities of the city of Erlangen (such as wastewater, waste, daycare centers, city archives, etc.) and the charges levied by the city (e.g. street cleaning fees, dog tax, development charges, etc.).

Ordinances

Ordinances are regulations issued by the city council on the basis of special laws, which primarily stipulate certain prohibitions and requirements for the city area - in particular for safety or nature conservation reasons.

The official pages

The official pages are the official, regularly published gazette of the city of Erlangen. Statutes and ordinances must be published here after they have been passed by the City Council and signed by the Lord Mayor (copy) in order to be legally effective. The official gazette of the City of Erlangen has been called "The Official Pages" since 1999.

• Such a regulation does not actually exist in the city of Erlangen.
• The regulation or statute you are looking for is no longer or not yet valid.
• The statute or regulation does exist, but it has not been posted on the Internet because there is normally no public interest in it or it would be too costly to post it. In particular, development plans are not posted. In this case, you can obtain the information from the relevant department.
• In the case of completely new statutes or ordinances, it has not yet been possible to make these available.
• The regulation you are looking for is not regulated in a municipal statute or ordinance, but represents state or federal law.
• The regulation sought is not of a public law nature. The area is organized by the City of Erlangen under private law (i.e. it is managed by means of a contract and the charging of fees). In this case, too, you will receive the information via the responsible office.

The municipal law is sorted both alphabetically and by area of law.
