Marion County owns land and buildings throughout Marion County, Florida, that are provided for the use of Marion County’s residents and visitors, and to enable local government to carry out its duties. From time-to-time, while upon County-owned lands or in County-owned buildings, persons may commit acts that are unlawful, disruptive, or contrary to the rules and regulations of the County and Constitutional Officers.

The proposed ordinance provides for a uniform system of issuing trespass warnings to persons who commit certain acts on property owned by the County, protect the Constitutional rights of all persons, and promote the efficient functioning of government in the interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens and inhabitants of Marion County, Florida, pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes and Florida Constitution Article VIII.
