SB 490 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Augment Agency Appeal Rights.

SB 490 allows individuals who disagree with certain agency decisions - such as funding denials related to eminent domain proceedings - to appeal those determinations to a superior court. It requires agencies to notify people of their right to appeal within 30 days of a final decision and sets clear procedures for filing a petition, including serving the agency and requesting a de novo court review. The law specifies courts can overturn agency decisions only if they violate the constitution, fail to follow state/federal law, or contain legal errors. This directly affects property owners or applicants challenging agency actions under North Carolina's eminent domain and funding laws.
