Shasta County Voters to Decide on Eminent Domain and Governance Measures
What happened
Shasta County voters are being asked to weigh in on two ballot measures that would amend the county charter. Measure E proposes restricting the county’s use of eminent domain when transferring private property to another private owner. This proposal returns to the ballot after similar measures failed in 2024.

Why it matters
Measure E would extend restrictions on eminent domain to all private property, limiting the county's ability to take land for transfer to private parties. Supporters argue this change would better protect property owners, while opponents maintain the added county restriction is unnecessary.
