Animal Crossing Ordinances are a returning island mechanic re-introduced in Update 2.0.
As a resident representative, you can now enact island ordinances. These allow you to set on-site plans for your island’s villagers, assigning them various tasks or simply specific commands that best fit your own schedule.
To be prepared beforehand, we will look at how to change the island’s ordinances, as well as the list of ordinances with the available options.

How to Change and Enact Ordinances in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Once you’ve downloaded the 2.0 update to your Nintendo Switch, Isabelle will explain the ordinances to you the next time you load the game.
This means that ordinances are unlocked automatically. To access and change ordinances in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, visit Town Hall by speaking to Isabelle, then select Review Island Features and then Discuss Ordinance.
There are several requirements for ordinances: one, only the Resident Representative of the island can make changes, and two, you must have 20,000 bells in your inventory, as they will be necessary to access and change any ordinance.
After explaining which ordinances (if any) are active, you can choose between ordinances to enact. When you set one up, it will be active the next day.
Now, let’s look at the full list of island ordinances and the impact they can have on your island.
The Animal Crossing 2.0 and Happy Home Paradise update is here! We can help you with the new additions, including where to find Brewster, Gyroids, new villagers, ordinances, new fences, storage shed, new hairstyles, Froggy Chair, group stretches, and Kapp’n boat tours. Cooking can now be unlocked, so you need to know how to make flour and sugar, as well as how to grow carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. In the meantime, if you’re new to Animal Crossing, our New Horizons tips can help you with the basics. From the beginning, there are fish and insects to catch, flowers and fruits to grow. A long-term goal is to increase your Happy Home Academy score. Finally, you need tools like the new ladder and pole to fully explore.
Changes to Animal Crossing ordinances and schedules explained in New Horizons
Ordinances are an interesting addition, especially if you’re tired of villagers waking up late or not helping at all on the island. Sometimes you just want to spend your afternoons with your villagers as much as possible, but cleaning ends up taking priority. Now they can go ahead and help you so you can focus on what really matters.
Here is the list of all Animal Crossing ordinances in New Horizons and their meanings explained:
- Beautiful Island Ordinance: Other villagers will help weed, water flowers, and clean trash from the water.
- Early Bird Ordinance: Makes all villagers awake and active and businesses open an hour earlier in the morning (Nook’s Cranny opens at 7am, Able Sisters at 8am)
- Night Owl Ordinance: Makes all villagers awake and active, and businesses open an extra hour later at night (Nook’s Cranny closes at 11 pm, Able Sisters at 10 pm)
- Bell Boom Ordinance: The cost of island costs increases by 20%, but so does the amount you earn from selling by 20%
What is the best ordinance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
We’d say the best artillery is to go for Beautiful Island, which essentially saves you the legwork of keeping the island as pristine as possible, useful for those looking for a higher island rating, and Bell Boom, which is perfect for those who They like to make money by selling.
It should be noted that although Early Bird and Night Owl are also useful in that they add an extra hour of opening hours to businesses and do not change them completely, so Night Owl will still open as usual at 8am but will then close at 11 pm too.
Of course, you can’t have any ordinances, but since Beautiful Island and the times have the least “negative” impact (Bell Boom will increase prices for both buying and selling), then it’s at least worth having one of those for your preference).
Before and after the Bell Boom ordinance is active, increasing prices by 20%.
