  • Except as otherwise provided by law or ordinance, the sections of this Code shall apply in both the unincorporated and incorporated areas of the county, provided that any section of this Code in conflict with a municipal ordinance shall not be effective within such municipality to the extent of such conflict. The board of county commissioners shall not enforce a section of this Code within the boundaries of a municipality unless the municipality passes a resolution requesting such action by majority vote of its governing body and repeals any inconsistent municipal ordinances. The board of county commissioners may accept or reject such request by the municipality. Either the municipality by its governing body or the board of county commissioners may withdraw the municipality from such enforcement by the same voting procedure.
