SB 2215 – Property Rights
PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 2154
SB 2215 gives property owners more power to fight back when cities break zoning laws. It allows landowners to take cities to court directly and seek legal remedies like injunctions or declaratory judgments. If the landowner wins, the court can make the city pay legal fees, discouraging misuse of public funds to defend illegal actions. The bill protects property rights, promotes legal clarity, and ensures government accountability. It curbs unnecessary litigation delays and limits taxpayer exposure to prolonged city-driven legal fights.
