14-3-1. Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish guidelines and a procedure for reviewing County actions that involve a physical taking or exaction of private real property that may have constitutional taking issues. This chapter is further intended and shall be construed to objectively and fairly review claims by property owners that any such County actions should require payment of just compensation yet preserve the ability of the County to lawfully regulate real property and fulfill its other duties and obligations.
