How to Know about Eminent Domain Before It Happens
Eminent domain is when the government takes your private property for public use, which should rarely come as a surprise. In fact, if you pay attention, you can often anticipate an eminent domain action in your neighborhood. Here are some of the basic tips for being aware of eminent domain before it happens:
• Be generally informed. If you pay attention to local news whether on the TV, radio, or internet, you are likely to hear of major public works projects early in the process. For example, this August FDOT Secretary Ananth Prasad announced a number of important transportation projects at a press conference months before eminent domain proceedings had begun on them. Plans are often available at early stages so that you can know whether you are likely to be affected.
• Attend local government meetings. City council meetings, county planning council meetings, school board meetings, are all great places to learn about upcoming public works projects that may impact you.
• Listen to your neighbors. Negotiations to purchase properties often happen in waves, so it’s likely your neighbors will be contacted before you. If you are in contact with your neighbors you will not be surprised when you are approached.
Early notice gives you time to start researching how to handle eminent domain proceedings, and prepare yourself for the possibility you might have to move. You will want to start researching eminent domain lawyers as soon as you suspect eminent domain may be used to take your property, but you might want to wait until you get your good faith estimate before contacting one.
