§47506 Limitations on Recovering Damages for Noise

Summary

Someone who gets an interest in property after February 18, 1980, near an airport that has a noise exposure map submitted under section 47503 can only get money for airport noise if they knew or should have known about the map and two things are true. First, after they got the property there was a major change in aircraft type or how often planes fly, the airport layout, flight paths, or an increase in nighttime flights. Second, the noise harm they suffered was caused by that change. A person is treated as knowing about the map if notice was printed at least 3 times in the county newspaper before they got the property or they were given a copy when acquiring it.
