Hi Andrea, typically, jurisdictions overlap and each can issue a citation for the same incident. However, it's unusual for multiple citations to be issued by different counties for the same infraction. This might be considered double jeopardy, which is generally illegal. It's best to consult with a local attorney to understand your specific situation.
