Procedure details
Description
The administrative districts can issue statutes to regulate their own affairs. For example, they can regulate the use of their property and public facilities by means of bylaws or, for reasons of public welfare, impose compulsory connection and use of their facilities. Examples of this are bylaws in the area of waste management.
By-laws regulating delegated matters and by-laws that threaten violations of their regulations with fines (= reinforced by-laws) are only permissible in the cases specified by law.
The procedure for enacting bylaws is regulated in the County Code for the Free State of Bavaria.
In addition, administrative districts can also issue ordinances if this is provided for by law. General regulations on the procedure for issuing municipal ordinances can be found in the State Criminal and Ordinance Act (LStVG). The LStVG and other laws also contain authorizations for the issuing of ordinances by the district in the area of public safety and order.
You can obtain further details from your district administration office.
