  • It is declared to be the intent of the board of county commissioners that if any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Code or any ordinance is for any reason held or declared to be unconstitutional, inoperative or void, such holding or invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of this Code or any ordinance, and it shall be construed to have been the legislative intent to pass this Code or such ordinance without such unconstitutional, invalid or inoperative part therein, and the remainder of this Code or said ordinance after the exclusion of such part shall be deemed and held to be valid as if such part had not been included herein. If this Code or any ordinance or any provision thereof shall be held inapplicable to any person, group of persons, property or kind of property, or circumstances or set of circumstances, such holding shall not affect the applicability hereof to any other person, property or circumstance.
