Can my property be taken if I do not receive fair compensation?

Yes, your property in Nebraska can be taken if you do not receive fair compensation under eminent domain law. Eminent domain is the right of the government to take private land for public use. This power is typically used when a government wishes to build roads, bridges, or other infrastructure projects, but it can also be used for other purposes, such as constructing a new school. When this right is exercised, the government is required to pay the owner of the property fair market compensation for the land. If the government deems that the property is worth less than what the owner claims it is, due to its location or other factors, then the government can take the land and compensate the owner at a lower rate. This can mean that the owner receives a much smaller amount of money than what they claim the property is worth. In Nebraska, property owners must receive what is considered “just compensation” for their property, which is determined by a court. If they do not receive fair compensation, then they can challenge the amount in court. However, if the court agrees with the lower amount, then the owner’s property could still be taken without them receiving the full amount they believe it is worth.
