city bylaws
Local government rules
City bylaws are local regulations enacted by a municipal government to govern matters within its jurisdiction.
They cover everything from zoning and building codes to noise restrictions, parking rules, and business licensing.
The term is more common in Canadian and British usage; Americans typically say city ordinances: The city bylaws prohibit overnight street parking in winter.
