In its 2004–2005 session, the U.S. Supreme Court issued rulings that changed takings law dramatically. The Court moved away from unclear standards and rhetorical hostility to land-use planning with opinions that clearly define a regulatory taking and affirm many planning principles.
This guidebook explains what commissioners and other officials need to know about the new takings standards in easy-to-understand language. It's a handy reference with information about how recent developments affect specific planning techniques that often give rise to regulatory takings challenges. A must-read for any official who wants to stay out of court.
