Eminent Domain & Condemnation Attorneys - Arizona

Sever Storey fights for justice on behalf of landowners across America. Whether you’re facing eminent domain in Arizona via the state, the federal government, a utility company, or any other condemner, we’re here to ensure your rights are upheld in the courts.

Don’t face off against your condemner on your own. Make sure you have the right experts by your side by contacting the lawyers at Sever Storey.

What Is Eminent Domain Law in Arizona?

Eminent domain law states that certain government and private groups have the right to seize private land and use it for public purposes. Though the law appears to be fairly straightforward, many condemners take advantage of the nuances of this law, treating landowners unfairly or taking land for unlawful reasons.

What Should Landowners Do After Receiving An Eminent Domain Notice in Arizona?

An eminent domain attorney in Arizona is the best resource for landowners facing eminent domain. Therefore, a landowner who receives an eminent domain notice should immediately take the following actions.

- Hire a lawyer: An experienced condemnation and eminent domain attorney will walk the landowner through the entire process and use their knowledge to ensure the best possible outcome for the landowner.

- Learn about landowner rights: Landowners have their own set of rights in every eminent domain case. Take time to learn about these rights to get the best treatment.

- Allow the attorney to negotiate: Some landowners may be tempted to handle their own negotiations, but allowing an expert to take the lead is crucial.

Eminent Domain Just Compensation in Arizona

Every landowner is entitled to “just compensation” from their condemner. So what exactly does this term mean? Legally, just compensation is a monetary exchange that is equal to or greater than the market value of the land. But unfortunately, many unknowing landowners walk away with less compensation than they deserve. A skilled attorney can help landowners get the greatest possible compensation for their land.

Eminent Domain Relocation Costs in Arizona

Relocating a home or business can be extremely expensive, which is why landowners are entitled to eminent domain relocation costs paid by their condemner. Yet, the courts often underestimate or do not fully consider these costs, meaning landowners do not receive the full benefits. Again, it’s crucial to have an eminent domain attorney to fight for these benefits.

What Are The Limits of Eminent Domain in Arizona

Contrary to what it may seem, condemners are limited by eminent domain law in Arizona. According to the state, condemners must:
- Give adequate notice of eminent domain
- Provide a copy of the appraisal
- Inform the landowner of eminent domain proceedings
- Provide just compensation and negotiate the offer

How Long Do Eminent Domain Cases Take in Arizona?

Eminent domain cases can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more, depending on the nature of the case. Typically, cases that involve litigation take much longer than cases that do not.

Can Eminent Domain in Arizona Be Stopped?

It is very rare for eminent domain to be fully stopped in Arizona. A lawyer would have to prove the condemner is not using the land for a public purpose or has broken the law in some other way. However, having the right eminent domain lawyer will still play a vital role in securing greater compensation and more generous relocation benefits.
