§ 1-5. Jurisdiction.

The provisions of this Code shall only apply in the unincorporated areas of the county, unless a particular provision of this Code expressly states that it is applicable to both incorporated and unincorporated Lake County. If a provision of this Code expressly states that it is applicable in the incorporated areas of the county and that provision is in conflict with a municipal ordinance, such provision shall not be effective within the municipality to the extent of such conflict.

When a provision of the Code is only applicable to the unincorporated areas of the county, a municipality may pass a resolution by majority vote of its governing body requesting that the board of county commissioners enforce such provision with the municipality. Such resolution shall also repeal any municipal ordinances that conflict with the provision of the Code the municipality seeks to have enforced within its boundaries. 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 said municipality from such enforcement by the same voting procedure.
