LETTER OPINION 2003-L-11 February 25, 2003 Page 2 statewide concern.” N.D.A.G. 2000-F-15. The same holds true for a county’s home rule power. Since the protection of historical sites is a matter of statewide concern, counties do not have the power to adopt home rule charters or implementing ordinances varying the protection provided in N.D.C.C. § 55-02-07. Thus, it is my opinion that Cass County’s home rule charter does not affect the question of whether a court may issue an injunction against the proposed demolition of the former Cass County Sheriff’s residence.
