Land Condemnation in Virginia: What You Need to Know

Landscape - The Jackson Law GroupUsing a legal process known as eminent domain, government entities may be able to take over privately owned land for “public use.” In order to do so, the government entity or agency seeking to condemn land must prove a valid purpose, and—assuming the condemnation is lawful—they must also provide fair market value financial compensation to the property owner. Here are three of the most important things that you should know about the land condemnation case in Virginia: Condemnation May Be Stopped—But it is Difficult: In 2012, voters in Virginia strengthened the rights of property owners through a ballot measure. In order to condemn land in Virginia, the entity or agency in question must be able to prove that it is taking the property for a “valid public purpose.” If the taking is not for an appropriate public purpose, a property owner may be able to stop the land condemnation. That being said, it is important to understand that public purpose is defined broadly and that land condemnation cannot be halted in every case. You Must Be Paid for Your Land’s “Best and Highest Use”: The government cannot take land from private property owners without providing just compensation. Doing so would be a serious violation of a person’s constitutional rights. Under Virginia law, property owners are owed fair market value compensation for their land’s “best and highest use.” If your land is condemned, it is imperative that you are able to recover financial compensation. A Lawyer Will Protect Your Rights: Land condemnation cases are complex. Unfortunately, in practice, government entities try to condemn land for the lowest cost possible. In too many cases, they stretch the meaning of “public use” beyond the breaking point and/or offer property owners far less than fair market value. Our Wytheville, VA land condemnation attorneys are available to help. We will protect you right to due process and ensure that you receive the maximum available financial compensation.
