Koskey v. Town of Bergen

Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

Decided May 2, 2000No. 99-2192PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtPeterson, J.

¶ 1. James and Carrie Koskey appeal the dismissal of their inverse condemnation action 1 against the Town of Bergen. They claim that the Town condemned their land without compensating them. The Town did not compensate the Koskeys because it decided that the land belonged to others. The Koskeys, who had full notice throughout the Town's condemnation proceedings, did not appeal the Town's decision. We conclude that the Koskeys may not pursue an inverse condemnation action because the Town had already exercised its power of condemnation. Accordingly, we affirm the order.
