§47506 Limitations on Recovering Damages for Noise

Summary

If you bought property after February 18, 1980 near an airport that had a filed noise map and you knew or should have known about that map, you can only get money for airport noise if you also prove that, after you bought the property, there was a significant change in aircraft operations, airport layout, flight patterns, or more nighttime flights, and your harm came from that change. You are treated as having known about the map if, before you bought the property, a notice about it ran at least 3 times in a county newspaper, or you were given a copy of the map when you bought.
