No Drainage Tax on Right of Way Land
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled 4 3 that the State Highway Commission need not pay drainage district taxes on land taken for rights of way. The decision reverses a lower court ruling that mandated taxes of 1307 on two tracts totaling 61.5 acres in Mississippi County. The ruling may impact all eminent domain land acquisitions by public agencies across the state. Justice George Rose Smith authored the majority, with dissent by Justice Ed McFaddin and others.
