How do I file an objection to an eminent domain taking?

In Alaska, to file an objection to an eminent domain taking you must complete a form. This form, called an Objection to Condemnation, is usually provided by the condemning agency. This form must be filed within a certain period of time, which is generally 120 days from the date of the condemnation notice. The Objection to Condemnation form must be filed with the Alaska Superior Court in the judicial district in which the property is located. When filing the Objection to Condemnation form, you should include supporting documentation such as a survey of the property, title documents, and an appraisal of the property. Additionally, you should submit an answer to the complaint that the condemning agency files with the court. This answer should describe why you believe that the taking is invalid, such as if the taking is not necessary for a public use or if the property is being taken for more than its fair market value. You should also include any other facts that support your objection. Once the objection is filed, the court will determine if the taking is valid or invalid. If the court decides that the taking is invalid, the condemning agency will be unable to proceed with the taking. If the court decides that the taking is valid, then you may still challenge the amount of compensation offered by the condemning agency in court.
