Best Law Firms in the United States for Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law
States
When there is reasonable necessity and public purpose for a property to be taken, the property owner is entitled to receive full compensation. The measure of “full compensation” is the amount of money which makes the owner whole, and as a property owner, you are to be in the same position financially as they were prior to the property being taken. Under Florida law, the condemning authority is also required to pay the owner’s attorneys’ fees and costs as part of the measure of full compensation.
