🧹🌼 Oxford City-Wide Clean Up – May 1st & 2nd! 🌼🧹

The City of Oxford and the Oxford Lion’s Club are teaming up once again for our annual clean up! It’s the perfect time to declutter, clean out, and get your property looking great for spring. 🌷

Let’s work together to keep Oxford looking its best! 💚

🐾 It’s time to update your dog tags for 2026! 🐾

All you need is:
✅ An up-to-date rabies vaccination
💲 $5.00 per dog

📌 Important reminders:
• All dogs over 6 months of age MUST be registered with the City of Oxford, per City Code
• Per City Code, households may have up to 3 dogs
• For an additional $60 per dog, you may have up to 5 dogs total
 

🐕‍🦺 If your pup ever gets out and Oxford PD finds them, their tag helps officers quickly reunite them with you—keeping your dog safe and saving you the hassle of a trip to the pound or a possible ticket.🐾

If you’ve been patiently (or not-so-patiently) counting down the days, the wait is officially over. Our 2026 planners have made their grand entrance at the City Office, and yes — they’re free!

As many of you know, we order these every year for our staff, but the supplier only sells them in bulk… large bulk. So, once again, we’re swimming in planners. Instead of building a fort out of them (tempting, but frowned upon), we’re handing them out to anyone who wants one.

If you’re the type who likes to get a jump on the new year, or if you simply enjoy a crisp, empty planner full of possibility, stop by the office during business hours and pick one up. Supplies will last until… well, until you all wipe us out like you do every year.

Come grab yours — before we start using them as doorstops. 😉

***UPDATE***

The City Crew discovered that a bad insulator at the City's power plant was the cause of the two blown fuses earlier this morning. They have replaced the insulator along with both fuses so there should be no further outages. 

The two brief power outages this morning were caused by blown fuses. Our city crew is currently working to locate the source of the issue. Thank you for your patience. We'll provide an update when available. 

At the City Council meeting held last night, November 4, 2025, the Oxford City Council approved a new Backup Generation Policy to ensure consistent and reliable electric service for our community. This policy establishes clear guidelines for the safe and efficient use of backup generators within city limits. It aims to promote reliability during outages while maintaining compliance with state and local regulations. The full policy is available below for your review. Residents may also email or stop by the City Office to request a copy.

For questions or additional information, please contact the City Office at (620) 455-2223.
