            PREFACE
            </p><p class="p0">
            This Code constitutes a complete codification of the general and permanent ordinances
            of the County of Currituck, North Carolina.
            </p><p class="p0">
            Source materials used in the preparation of the Code were the ordinances adopted through
            July 15, 1991, subsequently adopted by the board of commissioners. The source of each
            section is included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof.
            The absence of such a note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the
            first time with the adoption of the Code. By use of the comparative tables appearing
            in the back of this Code, the reader can locate any ordinance included herein.
            </p><p class="p0">
            The chapters of the Code have been conveniently arranged in alphabetical order, and
            the various sections within each chapter have been catchlined to facilitate usage.
            Notes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant
            state law have been included. A table listing the state law citations and setting
            forth their location within the Code is included at the back of this Code.
            </p><p class="bc0">
            <span class="ital">Numbering System</span>
            </p><p class="p0">
            The numbering system used in this Code is the same system used in many state and local
            government codes. Each section number consists of two parts separated by a dash. The
            figure before the dash refers to the chapter number, and the figure after the dash
            refers to the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the second section
            of <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH1GEPR" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">Chapter 1</a> is numbered <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH1GEPR_S1-2DERUCO" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">1-2</a>, and the first section of <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH4BUBURE" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">Chapter 4</a> is 4-1. Under this system, each section is identified with its chapter, and at the
            same time new sections or even whole chapters can be inserted in their proper place
            by using the decimal system for amendments. For example, if new material consisting
            of one section that would logically come between <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH3AN_ARTIINGE_S3-1DOANRULAPUSC" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">sections 3-1</a> and <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH3AN_ARTIINGE_S3-2CAEXWERAVATA" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">3-2</a> is desired to be added, such new section would be numbered 3-1.5. New chapters may
            be included in the same manner. If the new material is to be included between <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH12STSI" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">Chapters 12</a> and 13, it will be designated as Chapter 12.5. Care should be taken that the alphabetical
            arrangement of chapters is maintained when including new chapters. New articles and
            new divisions may be included in the same way or, in the case of articles, may be
            placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject, and, in the case of divisions,
            may be placed at the end of the article embracing the subject. The next successive
            number shall be assigned to the new article or division.
            </p><p class="bc0">
            <span class="ital">Index</span>
            </p><p class="p0">
            The index has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been
            placed under several headings, some of which are couched in lay phraseology, others
            in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by local government
            officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself
            which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which the user
            is interested.
            </p><p class="bc0">
            <span class="ital">Looseleaf Supplements</span>
            </p><p class="p0">
            A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental
            servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication will be kept up-to-date.
            Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly edited, and the appropriate page
            or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders
            of copies of the publication, with instructions for the manner of inserting the new
            pages and deleting the obsolete pages.
            </p><p class="p0">
            Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder
            of the publication. As revised sheets are received, it will then become the responsibility
            of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions.
            It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all such amendments be inserted immediately
            upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be
            saved and filed for historical reference purposes.
            </p><p class="bc0">
            <span class="ital">Acknowledgments</span>

            This publication was under the direct supervision of Gordon B. Scott, Supervising
            Editor, and Jim Blain, Editor, of the Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida.
            Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their
            sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.
            </p><p class="p0">
            The publisher is most grateful to Donald I. McRee, Jr., County Attorney, and Gwen
            H. Tatem, Clerk to the Board, for their cooperation and assistance during the progress
            of the work on this publication. It is hoped that their efforts and those of the publisher
            have resulted in a Code of Ordinances which will make the active law of the county
            readily accessible to all citizens and which will be a valuable tool in the day-to-day
            administration of the county's affairs.
