Nebraska couple's $60K home lost over $588 tax debt; court revives compensation claim
Kevin and Terry Fair, a Nebraska couple, lost their home valued at $59,759 after failing to repay an unpaid property tax debt of just $588. Continental Resources subsequently acquired the property through a tax deed. The Fairs argued that forfeiting a home of such significant value over a minimal tax debt amounted to an unconstitutional taking of property. The Nebraska Supreme Court agreed there was merit to their argument, ruling that the couple had a valid claim under takings law. The decision revives their legal bid for compensation.
