SF809

Senate Bill SF No. 809 proposes that anytime a local, state, or any other government entity holding an eased right over private property intends to use that easement, they must provide direct, actual notice to the property owner. The notice can be delivered via mail, email, or telephone. If the government fails to provide this notice, it will face a civil penalty of $500 for each instance of non-compliance. Furthermore, property owners who are affected by this negligence can take legal action to seek compensation for damages, recover the penalty, and possibly cover their legal costs and attorney fees.
