(Code 1981, §41-2-17, enacted by Ga. L. 1982, p. 2107, § 45; Ga. L. 1991, p. 94, § 41; Ga. L. 2001, p. 1196, § 5.)
- For article, "Local Government Law," see 53 Mercer L. Rev. 389 (2001).
Construction with § 41-2-9. - It was error to hold, based on O.C.G.A. § 41-2-17, that landowners were not entitled under O.C.G.A. § 41-2-9(d) to directly appeal from a municipal court's demolition order because the city's nuisance ordinance predated § 41-2-9(a). Section41-2-9(d) was a specific statute, thereby prevailing over the general statute, § 41-2-17, and as § 41-2-9(d) was unambiguous, the court would not read any limitation onto the statute's plain meaning. Yasmine's Entm't Hall v. City of Marietta, 292 Ga. App. 114, 663 S.E.2d 741 (2008).
