How Do IChesterfield Township ordinances on noise, parking, alarms and property maintenance are published online. The police department enforces them alongside state law.
Chesterfield Township ordinances govern many parts of daily life, including parking, noise, alarm systems and property maintenance. The Chesterfield Township Police Department enforces township ordinances in addition to state and federal law, but the ordinances themselves are adopted and published by Chesterfield Township and are available in the township's online code.
Two ordinances come up often. Ordinance 90 covers false alarms: one or two false alarms in a calendar year bring a written warning, and three or more are invoiced under the township fee schedule. Ordinance 101 allows the department to recover the cost of resources used in operating while intoxicated arrests. Questions about interpretation or code enforcement go to the Township offices at (586) 949-0400.
