Pung v. Isabella County · ¶65

On appeal, the Pungs argued that when the County took their $194,400 home based on the $2,242 debt, its payment of only $76,008 (including the amount credited to the Pungs’ “debt”) was not “just compensation” under the Takings Clause. The Sixth Circuit, constrained by prior panel precedent, denied the Pungs relief because the auction value was the “best evidence” of the fair market value of the property. Pung v. Kopke, 2025 WL 318222, *3–*4 (Jan. 28, 2025) (internal quotation marks omitted).
