SW Nashville EB Owner, LLC v. Metro Government of Nashville, et al.
Nashville business sues local government for “land banking” property through endless permit delays
Rather than pay for the land it wants, the government tried to keep the property available for its own future use for free by locking SW Nashville into an indefinite building moratorium. Years later, the government continues to refuse to issue permits, just in case it wants to seize the land in the future. Now, SW Nashville is on the hook for over $8.2 million—and counting—in taxes and maintenance fees for property it cannot use or sell.
