Respecting Property Rights
Many Provo homeowners feel that the council has demonstrated a growing disregard for the proper role of government and disrespect for their property rights. Unfortunately, the failure to honor property rights has even driven some responsible homeowners out of our neighborhoods.
The Facts:
- The Provo city council has made it difficult for parents to keep a home in the family name or allow their children to take care of the property. (See: Deseret News)
- An unfortunate number of Provo residents have faced a decline in home value due to decisions that change the allowable use of their homes even after a legal precedent has been established. (See: Deseret News)
- The state itself has had to intervene when the city crosses the line in disregarding property rights. (See: Deseret News)
The Sterling Solution
As a Provo homeowner, I understand the need to protect the rights of our property holders. I will work to restore property rights while strengthening the core of our neighborhoods.
