SCOTUS Sides With California Developer in Takings Case

In Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, 601 U.S. ____ (2024), the U.S. Supreme Court held that a traffic impact fee imposed by the County of El Dorado based on a fee schedule in the County’s General Plan ran afoul of the Constitution’s Takings Clause. In reaching its decision, the Court clarified that the Takings Clause does not distinguish between legislative and administrative land-use permit conditions.
