Pompano Beach to Reserve Remaining Cemetery Plots for Residents Only

What this means for you This resolution creates a residency-based restriction on the sale of public property, which could raise equal protection or preemption questions depending on how 'resident' is defined and enforced. Clients who are non-residents with pre-existing interests in cemetery plots or land-use attorneys monitoring municipal property disposition policies should take note. Bottom Line: If adopted, any non-resident client seeking a plot at the municipal cemetery will be barred, and the policy's legal defensibility under Florida law may warrant scrutiny.
