In eminent domain cases, the property owner is NOT obligated to take what the government offers but is entitled to “full compensation”.
- In the case the entire property is taken, the compensation paid to the property owner should be the total fair market value of the property plus other compensation necessary to make the owner whole again after the taking. .
- When only a portion of the property is taken, the property owner is entitled to be compensated not only for the value of the property being taken but also for any damage, or loss in value, suffered by the remaining property as a result of the taking.
In many cases, the negative impact the project will have on the remaining property is a significant part of the damages.
