Eminent Domain and Property Tax
Siegel Brill advocates for property owners, tenants, and those who own interests in real estate to maximize the amount of “just compensation” required from the government in eminent domain actions. Our experience and understanding of land valuation principles make us effective advocates for lowering property taxes for a wide array of properties.
MORE ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
-
Over the years, Siegel Brill has developed a strong reputation for achieving impressive results for landowners faced with a loss of all or part of their property to eminent domain. We understand the difficulties and uncertainties faced by clients upon being haled into court involuntarily simply because a condemning authority desires to own all or part of their property. Included among our successes is obtaining a significant settlement of a tough to achieve “going-concern” claim for a business destroyed by condemnation. Siegel Brill keeps current with the many changes in this area of the law and provides valuable guidance to clients faced with this challenging situation.
-
In certain instances, government regulations can significantly impact the future use or value of private property to such a degree that they may rise to the level of a “taking” of the property and entitle an owner to damages. If such a regulation has impacted your property and the government has not provided any compensation, Siegel Brill can help. We have extensive experience in analyzing, filing, and litigating inverse condemnation claims on behalf of property owners.
-
If you believe that your property is overvalued, Siegel Brill has the knowledge and experience to review your situation and guide you through the tax challenge process. We have represented owners of properties in jurisdictions throughout the state and have protested taxes on a wide variety of commercial properties, including apartments, hotels, warehouses and industrial properties with impressive results.
