Florida Eminent Domain FAQs

What should I do if I receive an eminent domain notice in Florida

Arrow Down
Keep the notice and all attachments together and avoid signing anything before you understand the impact. A quick review can clarify what’s being taken, what it means for your property, and what your options may be.

Do I have to accept the first offer

Arrow Down
Not necessarily. Initial offers may not reflect the full impact of the project, especially in partial takings where access and remainder impacts can reduce value.

What does full compensation mean

Arrow Down
In general terms, it relates to the value of what’s taken and how the project affects what remains. The right evaluation depends on your property and the specific project.

What is a partial taking

Arrow Down
A partial taking is when only part of your property is acquired, like a strip for road widening or an easement. Even a small taking can change access, limit use, or reduce value.

What is an easement and why does it matter

Arrow Down
An easement gives another party specific rights to use part of your property. It can affect future plans, how you use the land, and property value.

Can eminent domain affect my business

Arrow Down
Yes. Commercial impacts can include access changes, parking loss, reduced visibility, or construction disruption. These impacts should be evaluated carefully because they can affect revenue and long-term value.

Will I have to go to court

Arrow Down
Some cases resolve through negotiation, while others require litigation to reach a fair outcome. The best approach depends on the facts, the offer, and the project’s impact.

How much does it cost to hire an eminent domain attorney

Arrow Down
Fee structures vary. During your free case review, we’ll explain costs clearly so you understand what to expect.

Nation Law represents Florida property owners in eminent domain and condemnation matters statewide. Whether a project involves road widening, utility easements, drainage improvements, redevelopment, or other public infrastructure, our role is the same: protect your property rights and pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.

Eminent domain cases aren’t all the same. Some involve a full taking. Others involve partial impacts that reduce property value, limit use, or disrupt access. Even when the taking seems “small,” the long-term impact can be significant.

If you’ve received a notice or an offer, you don’t have to guess what it means. We’ll review what you received, explain what matters most, and help you understand the best next step.

Does getting a higher offer mean I lose more to legal fees?

In Florida eminent domain matters, our fees are typically determined separately from your compensation and paid by the condemning authority, under court-approved rules. Our goal is to increase what you receive, not take a larger share of it.

What to expect in a Florida eminent domain case:

Step 1: Notice and initial offer

You may receive a letter, notice, or offer to purchase. The first number you see is not always the final number and it may not reflect the full impact to your property.

Step 2: Valuation and impact review

We evaluate what’s being taken and how the project affects what remains. In partial takings, access changes and remainder impacts can matter just as much as the part acquired.

Step 3: Negotiation

Many cases improve when the facts are documented clearly and supported properly.

Step 4: Litigation if needed

If negotiation doesn’t produce a fair outcome, litigation may be necessary. Preparation matters because leverage comes from being ready.

We serve property owners statewide across Florida and are building dedicated county pages next. If your county page isn’t live yet, you can still start here.
