§ 11.01. Conflict of County ordinances with Municipal ordinances.  


Latest version.
  • Any County ordinance in conflict with a Municipal ordinance shall not be effective within the Municipality to the extent that a conflict exists regardless of whether such Municipal ordinance was adopted or enacted before or after the County ordinance. A County ordinance shall prevail over Municipal ordinances whenever the County acts with respect to the following:

    A.

    Sets minimum standards protecting the environment through the prohibition or regulation of air or water pollution, or the destruction of resources in the County belonging to the general public.

    B.

    Land use planning.

    C.

    Regulates the conduct of elected officials, appointed officials, and public employees through an enacted Code of Ethics.

    In the event a County ordinance and a Municipal ordinance shall cover the same subject matter without conflict, both the Municipal ordinance and the County ordinance shall be effective.
