Right-of-way acquisition through the eminent domain
process requires the preparation of an appraisal that provides
the condemning agency and the private property owner a basis
for fair and just compensation for the property acquired, including
recognition of impacts to the remaining property whether vacant
or improved. The appraisal process requires land planning and
engineering services, including the specialized and technical
skills of the PEC team, so as to provide the appropriate technical
support for the appraiser. The process of providing fair and
just compensation requires a thorough knowledge of the eminent
domain professional of land use and the functional aspects of
the parent property and the professional role in the process.
Our PEC Team has been providing eminent domain related services for over 15 years; our professional services have included eminent domain reports, all necessary exhibits, specialized analysis and studies, cost estimates, expert witness testimony necessary for Order of Taking hearings, depositions, trial proceedings and fee hearings. We are well aware of impacts that occur outside of the right-of-way: the need of eminent domain related variances, permits required from other agencies, the standard list of damages and problems cited by the defendants, and the real hardships that often created that can impact the function of the remainder. Our years of experience has enabled us to develop standardized eminent domain reports addressing key issues needed to provide a reliable work product that enables the appraiser to have access to a virtually “bullet proof” reference document that is formatted to be an integral component of the appraisal. Our standardized eminent domain reports have been so successful that they have been referenced by the FDOT District 5 (Deland) in their Eminent Domain Consultants Guideline Manual. Eminent
