PREFACE

The County Commission of Nassau County herewith presents the "Code of Nassau County," being a compilation of County ordinances and laws of county-wide significance limited in their application either to Nassau County or counties falling within the population brackets contained in general laws which include Nassau County by the Federal Census reference in said acts.

The inclusion of county ordinances is on the basis of the authority for their enactment by counties as contained in Article VIII, Section 1 of the State Constitution as amended in 1968, and Laws of Florida, Chapter 69-32.

The Code has been compiled by subject matter in chapters alphabetically arranged and numbered in that order; and for the purpose of continuity and convenience of the user, as well as indexing, each section has been codified by section numbers furnished by the editors. The source of each section as contained in the original laws and ordinances on file in the office of the Secretary of State, is set out in parentheses immediately following each section.

The titles of all acts and ordinances as well as sections containing only stock legislative phrases, such as "all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed" have been omitted.

The editors have not attempted to exercise any judicial judgment as to the repeal or amendment of laws or ordinances where doubt exists. However, those sections which have been specifically repealed, held invalid by the courts, enacted for a specified length of time and the time having expired, enacted for a specific purpose and the purpose having been accomplished, e.g., appropriations, or have obviously been superseded by later laws or ordinances, have been omitted. Also omitted are certain laws and ordinances affecting only specific areas, and devoid of county-wide significance.

The catchlines of most sections, article titles and many subsection catchlines were supplied by the editors. Also, material inserted in brackets is by way of correction of errors contained in the original laws or ordinances, explanation or to show particular sections, article or chapter references by the editor's numbering. The body of each section, however, is as the same appears on the record in the official copies of the laws and ordinances on file in the office of the Secretary of State.

A special feature of this Code is the looseleaf system of binding, whereby ordinances enacted as filed with the Secretary of State and all pertinent laws enacted at such succeeding session of Legislature, will be properly edited for inclusion in the Code and the appropriate pages affected will be reprinted for distribution to the holders of the volume.

The publication of this Code was under direct supervision of Mr. George R. Langford, President, and Mr. Clarence A. Neeley, Editorial Counsellor of the Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida. Especial credit must be granted the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the entire project.

This Code is presented for the use and benefit of the citizens of Nassau County, Florida.
