Regulatory Taking Claim
You are here: Home »
Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office retained Hampton IP & Economic Consultants to analyze a regulatory taking claim brought by a real estate developer against the county.
Snohomish County Land Use Division denied the developer’s plat application due to failure to meet certain conditions required by the county.
The developer contested the conditions and successfully sued the county to have the conditions removed.
After the subdivision's completion six years later, the landowner sued the county for temporarily taking its development rights.
