The mission of the Bonner County Property Rights Council ("PRC") is to review County government activities and inter-governmental activities to determine whether they may cause adverse impacts to private property rights.

The review process includes the following steps:

• It is initiated by you (the public) contacting the PRC with a property rights proposal. 
• The PRC evaluates whether your proposal affects a department which has agreed to participate in the PRC advisory process.
• If the affected department participates, then the PRC evaluates your proposal and makes a recommendation to the participating department.

The PRC conducts public meetings, workshops, and hearings to ensure it understands the regulatory framework of your proposal. The PRC also draws on free-market tools, and contacts experts (as needed) to support your property rights proposals, and to ultimately transmit your proposal to public officials for their consideration.

The PRC, unlike many governmental advisory boards, focuses on searching for private solutions instead of automatically proposing expanded government to solve societal problems.

NOTE: Pure questions of law are not appropriate for the PRC.  These questions should be submitted to private legal counsel.  The PRC evaluates proposals to amend existing laws or prevent new laws which unnecessarily interfere with private property rights.
