City Charter and Code
City Charter
The City of Wilsonville was incorporated in 1968 and is a home rule charter city. The city charter is the basic law under which the City operates and can be amended only by a vote of the citizens. The charter was amended in September of 1999 with the addition of Section 44 regarding the use of the Willamette River; again in November of 2002 with the addition of Section 45 requiring voter approval before the City expends resources to construct any new city hall building; in November of 2004 amending Section 45, clarifying the definition of "regularly scheduled city election"; and in June 2020 Section 29 setting term limits for members of the Council.
City Code
The City Code contains the codified ordinances passed by the City Council. It is available for review at the Wilsonville Library, can be purchased at cost from the City Recorder, or searched electronically on the website:
