Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  In every case wherein private property is taken or damaged
for public use, the person whose property is taken or damaged shall
be entitled to just compensation.
B.  "Just compensation", as used in subsection A of this
section, shall mean the value of the property taken, and in
addition, any injury to any part of the property not taken.  Any
special and direct benefits to the part of the property not taken
may be offset only against any injury to the property not taken.  If
only a part of a tract is taken, just compensation shall be
ascertained by determining the difference between the fair market
value of the whole tract immediately before the taking and the fair
market value of that portion left remaining immediately after the
taking.
