Does city law supersede county law?

Does city law supersede county law?

Well, it depends.

First, what is the name of your state?

Second, what are the facts of the situation you are asking about?

Birmingham, AL

Just as a general rule which law would apply?

Answer question #2. Otherwise, the best you'll get is "it depends"

Ok

If the city passed it's own ordinance regulating video bingo could the county force the city to go by it's ordinance?

I hate those who dole out information bit by bit and hesitate to answer because, *it depends*. But, no. The county cannot generally require a city to enforce its ordinances. Nor can the state. Nor can the federal government.

Oh, and by the by....
Sheriff Hale has already tried that in Bham (at the Race Course), in Centerpoint and a few other locations that escape me at the moment.

I don't think he won.

Also, (though there are no JeffCo specific statutes online in the state code), there are some for Calhoun Co.

And since our beloved leaders at Goat Hill tend to want to micromanage the counties....
