There are numerous governmental agencies with the authority to condemn private property for public use. Some of those agencies include the Florida DOT, County Government, School Boards, Private Utilities, and the Orlando Expressway Authority. Our firm has significant experience challenging eminent domain proceeding.
Eminent domain is considered one of the most onerous and harshest proceedings known to the law. It is the power of the government to take private property for public use without the owner's consent. The Federal and Florida Constitutions require that compensation be paid to the property owner for the loss of property rights. However, unlike many States, the Florida Constitution requires that full compensation be paid to the property owner by the government. In addition, Florida statutes provide compensation for damages to affected businesses.
Full compensation consists of more than payment of the fair market value of the property. It also includes:
- Attorney's Fees
- Expert Witness Fees
- Appraisals
- Accountant Costs
- Litigation expenses
- Court Costs
- And more
The purpose of this constitutional safeguard is to make the property owner whole and come out of this harsh proceeding as financially well-off as before it began. In other words, the property owner receives the fair market value for the property and is not required to pay litigation and legal expenses.
