Releases Land from the ETJ
NIC
 
Beginning with Ordinance 24-0723-01, the code is now being supplemented by General Code, and an enhanced disposition table will be used. This table indicates the location or the disposition of the ordinances codified within the Whitehouse Code of Ordinances. The abbreviation "NIC" means the ordinance is not included in this code, though not necessarily repealed. In the "Supp. No." column, when an ordinance has been added as part of a code supplement, the supplement number will be added accordingly.
