State ex rel. Boggs v. City of Cleveland

Docket number
2025-5094
Date

Ohio Supreme Court held residents who claimed noise and vibrations from Cleveland’s airport made their home unlivable could sue Cleveland for compensation for a taking, even though they reside outside city boundaries. Although Ohio’s home-rule clause has been interpreted to bar a municipality from using eminent domain beyond its limits, the court ruled the city is still subject to a separate state constitutional duty to pay compensation when its actions amount to a taking, even if extraterritorial.
