Florida Eminent Domain Blog | Gregory W. Stoner

Many people from the UK, Canada, and elsewhere own property in Florida. The combination of mild weather year-round, miles and miles of beaches, and beautiful water draws people from all around the world to Florida. And Florida is chosen over many other possible tropical locales because the rule of law guarantees your investment to a greater extent than in other places. But when eminent domain threatens your property, you need a lawyer with expertise in Florida's laws to protect your investment, fight the taking, and ensure you get the full value for your property. Whether you are the owner of a business, vacation home, or an investment property, you are entitled to full compensation if the government uses eminent domain to take your property. And the attorneys at the Florida Property Rights Law Firm are prepared to fight for the property rights of all foreign owners.

For the purposes of eminent domain, foreign owners have the same rights as domestic owners of Florida property. However, logistically, your situation is very different. You may be unaware that your property may be the subject of a taking until you receive an offer from the government. Do not be fooled: this offer is often far below market value and rarely represents the amount you can receive for compensation. Review our information about the eminent domain process and you will see that it takes several steps before the final value of compensation is established.

The eminent domain lawyers at The Florida Property Rights Law Firm can serve as your intermediaries in this process. We will fight to get you the maximum possible compensation for your property, whether for a full or partial taking. If you have received an offer from any Florida or US government entity and want representation to protect your property or help get the maximum value, call or email us about your eminent domain case today.
