Section 5-19. Permit required. (a) No person, fir...
EXCEPTIONS: A permit is not required for:

(4) Temporary tents or other coverings used for private family parties or for camping on approved campgrounds.
Should we infer this sentence to mean that we cannot allow our children to camp in a tent in our own backyards for a weekend without a county permit? Think about that very carefully.
This sentence wreaks of undermining the non enumerated rights of citizens if interpreted as such. Fortunately for the County the use of the conjunction or can be inferred to separate the phrase "temporary tents" and therefore remain intact without violating non enumerated rights.
Since the county has never charged anyone for violation of failing to obtain a permit when camping in a tent on their own property. We can likewise infer that the intent of this passage is not limited to the uses mentioned therein.
We can also infer that the sentence is utilized as a matter of confusion to persuade one not to camp on their own private property but nowhere will you find a code that outright bans the activity as that would be struck down by the federal courts as soon as it was brought forward.
