The Town of Annapolis Royal adopts by-laws in accordance with the Municipal Government Act of Nova Scotia.

By-laws require a first and second reading at least 10 days apart, and will be advertised in the local media. The Town of Annapolis Royal uses the Bridgetown Reader for advertising proposed and approved by-law additions, changes, or deletions. During the proposal stage, members of the public may submit written comments either in support or opposition or appear in person on the day noted in the advertisement.

Most by-laws come into effect when they are advertised as approved. In a few cases, by-laws must be approved by the Province before they come into effect. The by-laws available here are all currently in effect.
