Ensure that you are Justly Compensated when your State or Local Government Takes your Private or Commercial Land.
What is Eminent Domain?
Eminent domain refers to the authority of the government to appropriate private property for public purposes, ensuring that the property owner receives just compensation. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution safeguards property owners against the seizure of their property without adequate remuneration.
This power allows the government to acquire whole properties, portions of properties, or to temporarily take possession of land. Common applications of eminent domain include the construction of government buildings, highways, railroads, and public utilities, as well as situations related to public safety, such as land acquisition following a fire.
The government may also transfer the power of eminent domain to local municipalities, governmental entities, or private corporations. Cases involving eminent domain can be intricate, and halting such actions is often challenging; however, there may be opportunities to negotiate for increased compensation. This process can disproportionately impact low-income and elderly homeowners who may struggle to meet property tax obligations.
