Erda Comty. Ass’n v. Grantsville City
Erda Comty. Ass’n v. Grantsville City, 2024 UT App 126 (Harris, J.)
Standing
The city of Grantsville incorporated 550 acres of land into its boundaries, but Sponsors of the new city of Erda’s incorporation filed a petition in the district court challenging Grantsville’s land annexation. The district court dismissed Sponsors’ petition for lack of standing. The Utah Court of Appeals affirmed and remanded, holding:
- The district court did not err when it dismissed Sponsors’ petition because Sponsors did not have statutory standing to bring statutory challenges to the annexation. On remand, the district court should consider whether the sponsors have traditional standing to bring constitutional challenges.
