Property Condemnation Attorneys in St Petersburg, Sarasota, Tampa, Clearwater, Lakeland, Plant City, Orlando, Winter Haven, and Other Central Florida Locations

Property condemnation refers to the process that occurs when government takes land away from a private landowner through its power of eminent domain. Not to be confused with when an old, crumbling factory building or home is condemned, property condemnation involves the involuntary transfer of title from a landowner to the government. In Florida, eminent domain is and will continue to be a highly politicized issue as the rights of private landowners collide with the needs of a growing population. On the bright side, the property condemnation process does ensure that landowners are paid just compensation (market value). Just what market value means is often in the eye of the beholder, which is why at Kennedy Law Group one of our objectives in every eminent domain case is to negotiate the best sale price for our clients.

Whether you’ve recently purchased some land as an investment or you own a farm that’s been in your family for generations, property condemnation is something you should be aware of. Almost all types of properties are subject to condemnation, including:

• Beachfront

• Apartment complex

• Factory

• Zoned industrial

• Unincorporated

• Residential

• Joint tenancies

• Mortgaged property

• Homeowners’ associations

In some cases, the government will take, use, or regulate land belonging to somebody else and fail to pay any form of just compensation. The landowner’s remedy in this situation is to file what is known as an inverse condemnation lawsuit against the government. At Kennedy Law Group, our property condemnation attorneys have handled many disputes of this nature in the past, and we are committed to client satisfaction above all else.
