Ordinance

Ordinances are features in and  that allow the mayor or Resident Representative to change an aspect of the town or island. There are four ordinances: Beautiful Island, Early Bird, Night Owl, and Bell Boom.

List of ordinances

 * Beautiful Island/Keep  Beautiful – affects the environment of the town or island
 * Early Bird – makes shops open and villagers wake up earlier
 * Night Owl – makes shops close and villagers go to sleep later
 * Bell Boom – affects the economy of the town or island, increasing both the buy and sell prices of items

In, one of the four ordinances can be enacted at Town Hall for free; an ordinance can be cancelled for free or switched to another for 20,000 Bells. The ability to enact ordinances is acquired when the mayor receives the development permit.
