Chapter 104: Severability, Interpretation and Construction


Section 104.01 Severability

If any provision or a section in the County Code or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect the other provisions or applications of the section or related sections which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions are severable.
