Can I receive compensation for a partial taking?

Yes, you can receive compensation for a partial taking under South Carolina’s eminent domain law. When the government takes only a portion of your property, it is known as a partial taking. This often happens when the government needs only a portion of your land to build a road or other public works project. Under South Carolina eminent domain law, the government must pay just compensation for any partial taking of your property. The amount of compensation you are entitled to will depend on the amount of land taken, the value of the land, and the potential loss of income from the taking. The government may also have to reimburse you for any costs you incurred in preparing for the partial taking. When you receive notice of a partial taking, you have the option to negotiate with the government on the amount of compensation you will receive. However, if you disagree with the amount offered, you can challenge it in court. The court will decide the fair amount of compensation for the partial taking. Overall, you may be entitled to compensation under South Carolina’s eminent domain law if your property is taken by the government, even if only a portion of it is taken. You should contact an attorney to help you with the negotiation or court process to ensure that you receive just compensation.
