CODE OF VIRGINIA

EXISTING ORDINANCES (§ 15.2-3517)

The ordinances in force in the localities at the time of consolidation, insofar
as they are not in conflict with the consolidation agreement, shall be continued
in force and effect within the limits of the consolidated localities, subject to
repeal or amendment by the governing bodies of the consolidated localities;
however, in case of a conflict between the ordinances of localities when the
charter of one of them has been retained, the ordinances of the one whose
charter has been surrendered shall to the extent of such conflict be void and of
no effect. Localities may also provide in the consolidation agreement for an
alternative procedure for resolving conflicts between ordinances.
