Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, CA

On January 9, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, CA. This case is a property-rights challenge by a California landowner to nearly $24,000 in development fees levied by the county as a condition for receiving a permit to build a manufactured home. The court will determine whether a monetary exaction imposed by a local government as a condition for a building permit is exempt from the “essential nexus” and “rough proportionality” requirements established in Nollan v. Cal. Coastal Comm’n and Dolan v. City of Tigard, simply because the exaction is authorized by local legislation.
