What are my rights regarding relocation?

In North Dakota, your rights regarding relocation if your property is taken through eminent domain are protected under the U.S. Constitution. The Fifth Amendment states that the government cannot take your property for public use without providing you with just compensation. This means that if the government takes your property for public use, they must offer you a fair market value for the property and any remaining real estate or personal property that was located on the premises. This compensation must also be provided in accordance with North Dakota law. You also have the right to be fairly relocated if your property is taken through eminent domain. The government must provide you with reasonable relocation assistance, which includes reimbursement for moving expenses, help finding a comparable replacement dwelling, and/or temporary living expenses. They must also take into account your special needs, such as the presence of any medical conditions, when determining your relocation cost. If you are relocated, you must also be provided with a notice describing your relocation rights in detail. Finally, the government must provide you with the opportunity to challenge the legitimacy of the taking. This includes appealing the taking to the court, as well as filing a claim for compensation if you believe the offer is too low. It is important to remember that the government cannot take your property without providing you with just compensation, so make sure to exercise your rights if you believe your property is being taken without due cause.
