Take back control of your neighborhood with the Know Your Ordinances Toolkit, a digital guide built to help you find, understand, and use local laws to hold townships, city councils, or HOAs accountable.

Most people think laws are made in Washington, but the truth is: the rules that shape your daily life are decided much closer to home. Township boards and HOAs quietly set ordinances on trash, weeds, abandoned vehicles, property upkeep, and more. And they count on residents not knowing the rules.

This toolkit changes that.

What’s Inside:

  • Quick-Start Guide – Step-by-step instructions for finding your township or HOA ordinances.
  • Common Ordinances Cheat Sheet – Plain-English breakdowns of nuisance, health, and safety codes.
  • Fillable Worksheet – A ready-to-use PDF where you can record and track the five ordinances most relevant to your address.
  • AI-Powered Shortcuts – Custom prompts to summarize codes, generate better search terms, and draft official complaint letters.
  • Action Checklist – A clear roadmap for turning ordinance knowledge into real accountability.

Why It’s Different:

This isn’t theory or fluff. It’s designed for action — print it, fill it in, and bring it to your next township meeting. Whether you’re tired of neglect, fed up with unfair enforcement, or simply want to know what governs your street, this toolkit gives you the knowledge (and the strategy) to demand change.
