IMPORTANT: Effective 07/24/2023 The Mayor and Council of the City of Woodstock has passed and adopted a revision to the city ordinance governing Manger’s Permits. A fingerprint-based-background check is no longer required to obtain a Manager’s Permit. Instead, a name-based background check will be conducted to confirm permit eligibility. Please see the updated ordinance information below.
