Eminent Domain

From time to time, local governments need to acquire private property for public projects. TOASE has extensive experience in negotiating such real estate transactions, and the complexities of handling eminent domain litigation. Eminent domain is a specialized area of representation, and TOASE has successfully handled hundreds of such transactions for both the clients we serve as city attorney, and other governmental entities who engage our services as special counsel.

Such projects include:

• Acquiring road right-of-way for road improvements and expansion

• Acquiring easements for water, sewer or drainage projects

• Acquiring fee title to property for municipal projects such as parks and new municipal buildings or facilities.
