NC Supreme Court Denies Request for Rehearing in Cabarrus County APFO Suit

The North Carolina Supreme Court has DENIED a request by Cabarrus County to reconsider its August 24 ruling that invalidated its APFO ordinance and established a new statewide precedent for local zoning authority. The denial, issued last week, means the ruling in Lanvale Properties, LLC  and Cabarrus County Building Industry Association v. County of Cabarrus and City of Locust will now stand, and paves the way for legal action to recover more than $6 million in APFO fees and accrued interest paid to the county by the building and development industry over the years.
