The Dipolog City Council (Filipino: Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Dipolog) is Dipolog's Sangguniang Panlungsod or legislative body. The council has thirteen (13) members which is composed of ten (10) councilors, one (1) ex officio member elected from the ranks of barangay (neighborhood) chairmen, one (1) ex officio member elected from the ranks of Sangguniang Kabataan (youth council) chairmen and one (1) presiding officer. The city's vice-mayor is the council's presiding officer, who is elected citywide.
The council creates laws and ordinances under the city's jurisdiction. The mayor can veto proposed bills, but the council can override it with a two-thirds supermajority.
The council usually meets at the Session Hall of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Building along Padre Jose A. Ramon Street at Estaka for regular sessions. As of 2023, the Sangguniang Panlungsod Building is undergoing redevelopment, and the council temporarily meets and holds offices at the Function Room of the Boulevard Commercial Complex at the Dipolog Boulevard.[1]
