State ex rel. MJB Realty of Cincinnati v. Butler Cty. Bd. of Commrs., 2010-Ohio-4803 (12th Dist. Ohio 2010).

MJB Realty  sued, seeking to overturn a decision by the Butler County Board of Commissioners that disallowed a sewage lift station on the Plaintiff’s property.  Without the lift station, MJB could not develop its property as it desired, and it alleged that the County’s refusal constituted a taking.  The Court held that the County’s decision did not constitute a taking, because MJB did not have a constitutionally protected right to access the County’s sewer system.  To review the case, click here.
