Free Appraisal Review

“Can the government seize my land?”

It Could Happen to You

No matter who you are; you may be subject to land condemnation and seizure. Whether you are a homeowner, tenant, business owner, farmer, or have other land interests; your land can be taken away from you if condemned.

What Is Eminent Domain?

The the legal power of government to condemn privately owned property for public purpose, benefit, or use is known as eminent domain. The entity exercising that power is called the condemner.

Who Can Condemn My Property?

Federal, state, county, and city governments—as well as private businesses—can take your land. To do so, they must be able to show that:

  • the condemnation is for a public use or purpose
  • they pay “just compensation” for the land taken

Just compensation is the fair market value that must be paid to a land owner who has property taken. This includes damages to remainders the land owner holds after the taking. The opinions of property owner and condemnor on what is “fair and reasonable” will often differ greatly.
