Yes, the state law applies. It is really the other way around. There can only be county or city laws if they don't contradict what the state laws say. Federal law supercedes state, state supercedes county and county supercedes city.

∙ 11y agoCities can make laws that are stricter than state laws if the state hasn't reserved the right to make those laws, but the city law cannot be in conflict with the state law.
Example, the state can pass a law that says the speed limit inside a city is 25 MPH. The city can say that the speed limit in their city is restricted to 20.
Not normally. City Ordinances must be subject to State Laws. E.g. when I read the NC State Constitution it basically reserves all rights to the state. Interestingly, the rule of "pre-emption" is whomever makes the law first wins. E.g. Federal govt makes laws outside of its Constitutionally granted rights but courts rule it preempts any laws made later by State. So, legislate away... the greedy strategy is to make as many laws/statutes (state)/regulations (agencies)/ordinances (cities)/etc as your group can; so, you will preempt any ideas another group my have.

∙ 13y agoFederal law overrides State law. State law overrides County/Parish law. County/Parish law overrides City law. That's the general rule. However this may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
