About
Defending Your Right to Private Property
The Private Property Rights Institute (PPRI) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to defending the fundamental right to private property ownership, a cornerstone of personal freedom and economic prosperity. Our mission is to protect landowners from government overreach, burdensome regulations, and zoning restrictions that threaten their ability to control their property.
Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses.
