What is Eminent Domain?
Eminent domain is the power of a government to take private property for public use without the owner’s consent, provided just compensation is given.
Your Rights in the Eminent Domain Process
Questions of eminent domain are complex. Government entities do have the right to acquire privately held property through this process if the property is required for a project that benefits the public. However, the law requires the government to provide adequate compensation to the landowner. Unfortunately, the compensation offered by the government does not always reflect the highest and best use of the property in question. While it is generally not possible to stop the government from condemning property, it is possible to ensure that they adhere to the law by offering just compensation.
