§ 33395 Public Property Acquisition Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can take private land for public use, like building roads or schools.
  • •But they can't take land that already belongs to another government group without asking first.
  • •They have to get permission from the group that owns the land.

Example

The city wants to build a new park but needs land that the school district owns.

The city can't just take the school's land. They have to ask the school district first, and the school district can say no.
