Ordinances & Policies

Ordinances and Policies are the rules and regulations governing specific activities in the Town of Sangerville.  What is the difference between the two?  Ordinances are enacted by a majority vote of the citizens of Sangerville on a warrant article at an annual Town Meeting or a Special Town Meeting. Policies are passed by a majority vote of the Sangerville Board of Selectmen at a regular or special Select Board meeting.  Ordinances and Policies can only be changed through the same process as they are enacted.  The Town has a process whereby Sangerville citizens can petition the voters to enact an ordinance at the next annual Town Meeting.

The Town’s Policies and Ordinances are listed here in alphabetical order.
