US Supreme Court Votes Unanimously to Support Private Property Rights
April 30, 2024
In April, property owners won two decisive victories at the Supreme Court in support of property rights. On Friday, April 12, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously (9-0) in support of property owners in Sheetz v. El Dorado County, and on Tuesday, April 16, they once again ruled unanimously in favor of property rights in DeVillier v. Texas. NAR submitted amicus briefs in support of upholding property rights for both cases.
NAR’s work to support property rights in both these cases demonstrates its commitment to advocating for private property rights not just in the legislative and regulatory sphere, but also in the judicial system, up to the highest court in the land.
