Supreme Court Holds Just Compensation is Actual Proceeds, Rather than Fair Market Value, in Sales Tax Cases

Analysis of Pung v. Isabella County, Michigan


The Pung family of Michigan owed approximately $2,241.93 in property taxes. Isabella County foreclosed on their home and sold it at a tax sales auction for $76,008, although the property had been assessed for tax purposes at $194,400. The County initially retained all proceeds. After the 2023 Tyler v. Hennepin County decision, the lower courts ordered the County to return the surplus proceeds—roughly $73,766—but refused to award the property’s full fair market value.

At the Supreme Court, the Pung Family argued they were entitled to fair market value payment under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment and that they payment of only the tax auction proceeds was an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment.
