CANTON - The Cherokee County Commission will delay an ordinance that would require all renters pay a $5 fee and be verified as living in the country legally.

The commission decided Monday night to delay consideration of the bill until at least mid-January.

Chairman Buzz Ahrens says the body will take the time to review the ordinance and feedback from a public hearing Monday.

Some say the ordinance could subject the county to a costly legal fight. Others say it's overdue and welcome the measure.

The commission tried something similar in 2006. It was challenged in court and never enforced.
