Notes
Four books of Brigham City ordinances were microfilmed by Utah State Archives in April 1978. Subsequent ordinances were microfilmed in January 2001 and the series was processed by Rosemary Cundiff in July 2002
From incorporation to 1977 Brigham City ordinances were kept in numbered books. Resolutions were also included in the first book. Since 1977 ordinances have simply been filed consecutively. Early ordinances are accompanied by documents showing proof of publication. Beginning in about 1990 related documents, such as zoning maps, are filed together with relevant ordinances.
