AR HB1754

Creates the "Private Property Protection Act" requiring that zoning, planning board, subdivision, and land use restrictions be demonstrably necessary, narrowly tailored to fulfill a compelling governmental interest, and achievable only through the least restrictive means

Applies to state agencies, counties, municipalities, and other political subdivisions for restrictions enacted after the act's effective date

Exempts nuisance abatement actions, enforcement of existing permits/licenses, final judicial determinations, and private restrictive covenants not required by government

Allows property owners to sue in court with the burden on the government to prove the restriction meets the strict standard; prevailing plaintiffs receive permanent injunctions plus attorney fees and costs

Establishes a 5-year statute of limitations from when the property owner becomes aware or reasonably should have become aware of the violation
