THE SAN FRANCISCO CODES

In plain language

This section lists the official San Francisco Codes published by American Legal, organized into two main categories: Municipal Code (including the Charter, Administrative Code, and subject-specific codes) and Building Inspection Commission Codes (covering construction and building standards).

San Francisco's official rules and laws are organized into different Code books. Some cover general city government and rules (like the Charter, Planning Code, and Police Code), while others focus on specific topics like the environment, health, transportation, and parks. There's also a separate set of codes for building and construction standards, managed by the Building Inspection Commission. All of these are published together by American Legal.
