Murr v. State of Wisconsin
1 hour, 7 minutesThe Supreme Court in a 5-3 ruling upheld Wisconsin land-use regulations controlling how private property owners can use or sell their property. This case centered on the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause and whether adjoining lots of land, owned by the same person or group, should be considered separately or together when deciding if land-use restrictions amount to a regulatory taking requiring the government to pay the landowners. The Court ruled that "no regulatory taking occurred here" so the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause which requires "just compensation" did not arise in this case. In 1960 the Murr family purchased a 1.25-acre lot on the St. Croix River in Wisconsin and built a recreation cabin on it. Three years later, the family purchased the adjacent lot of the same size as an investment. Zoning regulations adopted in 1975 required lots be a certain net size to be developed and if not then they are deemed "substandard." Both of the Murr's lots are considered "substandard"
