More on Property Rights from the Eminent Domain Lawyers at Kassouni Law…

When the government wants to use your property for a public purpose, such as a school or a park, it must pay you just compensation for the market value of your property. This is called eminent domain. Eminent domain cases typically involve disputes over the market value of the property, or disputes over whether the government is truly going to use the property for a public purpose. The government will consistently and markedly undervalue the property in eminent domain proceedings. These cases therefore depend on the expertise of the attorney and the appraiser retained by the property owner.

What if the government is regulating the use of your property without paying any just compensation? In this instance, the property owner must initiate an action against the government for damages, such as diminished market value or lost income. This is called an action for inverse condemnation, a right you have under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution and the California Constitution. If the behavior of a government employee is particularly arbitrary or egregious, the employee may be found liable under the Civil Rights Act. The firm’s expertise in land use and property rights law has led to legal victories and the setting of legal precedents throughout the state of California.
