Are there any restrictions on the amount of compensation I can receive?

In North Dakota, the amount of compensation that you can receive for a taking of private property through the use of eminent domain is determined by the amount of the taking party’s offer. If the taking party and the property owner cannot agree on the amount of compensation, the case may go to the court. The court will then determine the amount of compensation based on the fair market value of the property. Under North Dakota state law, the compensation must be fair and reasonable, so the court will consider a variety of factors in making this determination. In addition to the market value of the property, the court may also consider the impact of the taking on the property owner, the nature of the property itself, the current zoning regulations that affect the property, and the potential for the property to be used for other purposes. In other words, the court will take into account any costs, expenses, or damages that the taking may cause the property owner. In some cases, the court may also consider how the compensation amount would affect the public benefit or purpose of the taking. For example, if the taking of the property will result in a substantially larger public benefit than if the taking was not done, the court may determine that a greater amount of compensation is required. In summary, the amount of compensation that can be received for a taking of private property in North Dakota is determined by the court and will depend upon the fair market value of the property, the impact of the taking on the property owner, and the potential public benefit of the taking.
