Fruita City Charter

The City of Fruita is a Home Rule City and is governed by the Fruita City Charter as well as local ordinances and state laws.  Article XX of the Colorado Constitution grants general and specific powers to home rule municipalities which provide them with greater flexibility when seeking solutions to local issues. The City Charter sets forth the basic structure and organization of the City,  basic procedures to be followed in the conduct of business, and basic powers of municipal officials and agencies, including any limitations.  State law applies in the absence of a charter or ordinance provision.
