Eminent domain is the government’s constitutional authority to take private property. Condemnation is the process by which the government exercises eminent domain.
Learn MoreIn a typical condemnation, the government openly exercises its eminent domain power by taking private property, and then compensates the property owner.
Learn MoreProperty tax is determined by two factors, valuation and classification. Property valuation and classification are determined by the county assessor’s office, which assesses every property in the county on an annual basis.
Learn MoreLand use law covers a wide range of complex legal issues, each of which are particularly relevant to property owners, developers, and investors.
Learn MoreValuation lies at the center of condemnation law. Property owners are compensated based on the property’s fair market value, and diminution to that value.
Learn MoreA counter offer helps to consider your property’s true value while comparing it to how much your property may be worth to the government.
Learn MoreConsulting with an experienced eminent domain attorney in Arizona is essential in these scenarios. Our attorneys will help determine whether you should challenge the taking of your property or pursue greater compensation through the condemnation process. The latter can be done by examining factors such as independent property appraisals, engineering reports, land use analysis, and other relevant reports.

Compensation for private property is determined based upon fair market value, appraisals, expert witnesses, and negotiations. If a settlement isn’t reached through negotiation, this often can lead to legal proceedings.
Hiring an eminent domain attorney prior to reaching the legal proceedings stage is helpful in ensuring you receive the full value of your property.
Exempt properties typically include places of worship, burial grounds and any property used solely for religious or educational purposes – as well as those protected under federal laws such as Native American tribal lands.
Arizona Constitution and state laws forbid the use of eminent domain for exclusively private uses; instead it can only be employed to serve public needs such as infrastructure development, utilities installation, transportation or any public projects that benefit everyone in society.
Eminent domain proceedings in Arizona may take several months or longer depending on factors like its complexity, parties’ willingness to negotiate and any legal challenges that may arise. Negotiations, appraisal, filing a condemnation lawsuit and potentially trial may all take place during this process; for more accurate evaluation it’s advisable consulting with an experienced attorney about your specific circumstances.
Yes, if the government acquires only part of your land through eminent domain, you are entitled to receive compensation based on its fair market value based on factors like location, size, zoning restrictions and any improvements on it. This process is known as partial taking.
Additionally, in addition to receiving compensation for land taken, you may also be entitled to receive “severance damages”, designed to address any negative impacts caused by taking part of your property and reduce its value or usefulness.
