Protecting the Interests of Property Owners
Eminent domain is the power of the government to condemn private property for a public purpose. The condemning authority has the constitutional obligation to pay just and adequate compensation for the value of the property interests taken. However, a property owner may not agree that the condemnation is for a legitimate public purpose or that the compensation offered is just or adequate.
