Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council

Main Content

When David Lucas discovered that he could not build on his beachfront lots, he challenged South Carolina's limits on development along the beach. The legal case that followed, 505 U.S. 1003 (1992), pitted the state's interest in preserving the shoreline against Lucas's rights as a property owner and became a milestone in the law of takings.
