Smyrna citizens and property owners sometimes have questions about how various town regulations may affect them. The Smyrna Municipal Code contains all of the laws issued by the Town.  The laws, known as ordinances, are passed by Town Council.  If you have questions involving matters such as traffic and parking regulations, fireworks, or animal control in the Town of Smyrna, the answer is most likely in the Municipal Code.  Please note that professional rules of ethics prevent the Legal Department from giving legal advice to the general public.
