Supreme Court of Arkansas
David Scott Taylor v. Rick Ferguson; Paradise Valley, LLC; Waterview Meadows, LLC; Waterview Estates, LLC; Waterview…
November 13, 20252025 Ark. 180
Summary
The court held that a private neighbor dispute over flooding allegedly caused by residential development did not fall within the county court's exclusive original jurisdiction. The complaint did not place county roads, public infrastructure, or county-controlled matters at the center of the dispute, and the plaintiff instead sought relief against a private developer in circuit court. The court therefore reversed the dismissal and remanded for further proceedings in circuit court.
