Alabama Constitution Section 220 Consent of municipal corporation prerequisite to use of public property for public utility or private enterprise purposes
Here is the text of Section 220 of the Alabama Constitution:
Section 220 – Consent of municipal corporation prerequisite to use of public property for public utility or private enterprise purposes.
No person, firm, association, or corporation shall be authorized to use the streets, avenues, alleys, or public places of any municipality for the construction or operation of any public utility or private enterprise without the express consent of such municipality.
Summary:
Any person or company must get explicit permission from a municipality before using public spaces (like streets or alleys) for:
Building or running a public utility (e.g., electric, water, cable lines)
Conducting a private enterprise (e.g., private pipelines, infrastructure)
This provision ensures local control over the use of public property for such purposes.
