THE SAN FRANCISCO CODES

In plain language

San Francisco publishes its legal codes through American Legal, organized into two main categories: the Municipal Code (covering governance, business, planning, and services) and Building Inspection Commission Codes (covering construction and building standards).

San Francisco's laws are published in two main groups. The first group, called the Municipal Code, covers rules about city government, elections, business, planning, transportation, fire safety, health, parks, and police. The second group, the Building Inspection Commission Codes, covers rules about building construction, electrical work, plumbing, mechanical systems, and housing. American Legal publishes all of these.
