Yes, cities are required by Code of Iowa Section 380.8 to compile a code of ordinances containing all city ordinances in effect, except grade ordinances, bond ordinances, zoning map ordinances, ordinances vacating streets and alleys, and ordinances containing legal descriptions of urban revitalization areas and urban renewal areas. The city clerk must maintain a copy of the code at city hall. Additional copies are frequently placed at the public library and the county law library. Many cities provide a copy of the code to their elected officials.
