So this case is Clark County. You are right that the big one for the taking is the City Council but this Judgment was on Clark County’s taxation of Badlands.
But the bad conduct is still the City’s. Clark County is only a party because it collected these taxes. The tax amounts collected were based on the City’s mistake.
If the city was the proper owner of the property, then shouldn’t the city be assessed past property taxes, late fees, interest, and penalties to pay the judgment?
The County collects and disburses the taxes. Clark County is a municipal government that is different from the City of Las Vegas an incorporated City also a municipal government.
The City was sued for condemnation over the taking of the golf course by prohibiting rezoning and development for housing by the developer. Screwy case to say the least. An example of home rule gone amok. It is all very stupid.
It just seems that, since there is a ruling saying that that City of LV was the proper owner during the time the taxes were paid, and the County is having to return the money that was improperly assessed and collected from the Plaintiff in the case, that the County should be able to go back to the City of LV – as the proper owner by law – and assess all of the property taxes it’s having to return.
Badlands ruling
Maybe Justin Jone should pay the judgement?
Clark County had nothing to do with it. How about the mayor and various council members who recklessly pursued this loser case for years?
