Just Compensation for Land Taken by Eminent Domain in Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota, Clearwater, Lakeland, Bradenton, St Petersburg and Other Central Florida Communities

Just compensation is what you are entitled to if the government takes away your land through its power of eminent domain. Another way to think about just compensation is market value – the price at which the land would be sold in a voluntary, arm’s length transaction on the open market. As you might expect, the process of determining what the market value of your land is can be a complex undertaking. The government’s idea of what is just compensation is bound to be lower than what you think the right dollar amount should be. The solution? Contact the eminent domain attorneys at Kennedy Law Group, one of Central Florida’s most trusted firms when it comes to eminent domain, utility easement disputes, personal injury, bankruptcy, medical malpractice, and more. With an eminent domain attorney on your side, you’ll stand a better chance of getting the just compensation the law says you’re entitled to have. 

Whether you rent or own, the following types of properties are subject to eminent domain:

• Office buildings

• Condominiums

• Farmland

• Vacant lots

• Zoned industrial

• Zoned mixed use

• Beachfront homes

• Factories

In eminent domain cases, just compensation for the landowner is guaranteed by both the U.S. Constitution (Fifth Amendment) and the Constitution of the State of Florida (Article X, Section 6). Although accepting the government’s initial offer is always an option, it’s possible – even likely – that you can increase your proceeds dramatically by hiring a law firm that represents landowners in eminent domain disputes.
