Agricultural District Ordinance Notes 09/10/03 `1 Disclaimer for Model Voluntary Agricultural District Ordinance The intent of the editors of this model ordinance was to produce a "clean" ordinance that gives counties a great deal of operational and fiscal flexibility. However, this model ordinance is provided here only for reference and example purposes. It does not constitute a legal document or the provision of legal advice. For this document to be valid and legally enforceable it must be modified, reviewed, and approved by a county board of commissioners and a county attorney or other legal counsel. Many of the provisions in this document are required while others are optional. All guidance and authority for what counties must and may include in their ordinance is derived from The Farmland Preservation Enabling Act, N.C.G.S. 106 -735, et. seq. and Chapter 153A. Please refer to the Notes section of this document, which offers guidance on this model ordinance.
