Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Code, in computing any period of time prescribed by this Code, the following rules apply.
(1) The day of the act, event, or default after which the designated period of time begins to run is not included. If the period of time allowed is more than seven days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays are counted. If the period of time allowed is seven days or less, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays are not counted. The last day of the period so computed is included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. If the act to be done is the filing of some paper with a County office and that office is not open for all or part of the last day of the period, the period runs until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or a day on which the office is not open.
(2) In determining the latest day for performance of an act required by this Code to be performed a prescribed number of days before a certain day, act, or event, all days before the day, act, or event, including intervening Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, are counted in the number of days so prescribed. The latest day is included in the determination unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the latest day is the first preceding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
(3) Whenever a person has the right or is required to do some act or take some proceeding within a prescribed period after service on the person of a notice or other paper and service is made by mail, three days shall be added to the prescribed period.
