Thornton's City Code covers a lot more than the weeds in your neighbor's yard or the broken-down car parked on the curb. Currently City Code is 74 very thick chapters of ordinances that set standards for every aspect of city life. It covers — to name just a few — taxation, construction, sanitation, fire safety, human rights, animal ownership, trash disposal, and city utilities.
