• holding that plaintiffs’ takings claim was not ripe because they did not file an inverse-condemnation petition
• holding that the degree of permanence is the “most important of the factors”
• holding that imposition of a municipal lien did not constitute a taking
• explaining that continuing violations doctrine allows recovery for past conduct that would otherwise be time-barred
• holding that “ ‘if a State provides an adequate procedure for seeking just com: pensation, the property owner cannot claim a violation of the [Takings] Clause until it has used the procedure and been denied just compensation.’ ”
• noting that “continual ill effects from an original violation” — unlike “continual unlawful acts” — cannot serve as the basis of a continuing violation
