MCC §1.04.040
How to read the code when parts conflict
Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗This section explains how to read the county code. References to chapters, articles, or sections mean parts of this same code unless stated otherwise. If different chapters conflict, each chapter controls its own subject. If sections in the same chapter conflict, the later-enacted section wins unless that would change the chapter's meaning.
