Citizen's Guide to Residential Ordinances

Your guide to key City ordinances pertaining to residential property. Discover how you can help keep your neighborhood safe and beautiful.      CATEGORIES...


This guide is designed to help the citizens of Monterey better understand the City’s codes and requirements that relate to residential property owners. Learning about and understanding the codes can help foster and preserve a safe, healthy and attractive neighborhood environment.

Here we list various categories regulated by the City Code. We hope you will read each one and become familiar with the standards and regulations. If you have any questions after reading this material, check with one of the departments or divisions referenced at the end of each category. Telephone numbers are listed on the back panel.

There are many ordinances/codes in Monterey that affect residential property. Most of these have been enacted to protect and preserve the basic character and quality of life of our residential neighborhoods. These ordinances/codes address community issues, solve problems and manage nuisances. The City also has an interest in ensuring that businesses do not operate where they are obviously inconsistent with the residential character of a neighborhood.

If you have comments or suggestions regarding these or other City issues, send them anytime via the Web or Suggestion Hotline voicemail box listed on the back panel. Thank you for sharing our interest in making Monterey a special, vital and beautiful
neighborhood community.

Copies of the
City Code are available online or from the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall, corner of Pacific and Madison streets.
