Legal Definition of Condemnation Law: It is the process by which the Georgia legislature authorizes state agencies, cities, counties, and private corporations to exercise a legal right of “eminent domain” to acquire private property for public uses, such as streets, highways, or easements for railroads, electric transmission lines and natural gas or petroleum pipelines.
The power of Eminent Domain is not unlimited. It’s actually subject to strict judicial control. Nonetheless the right to take a home, a farm or business is often abused. A landowner’s right to own, use and enjoy private property is just as strong, and includes the constitutional right to fair compensation when private property is taken or its value damaged.
We represent landowners and we enforce these rights.
Georgia property owners can take these steps against governments seizing their property.

What You Can Do If Your Home or Land is Being Condemned in Georgia
If your home, business, or land is facing condemnation in Georgia, it is important to take action to protect your rights. While many people initially react to Georgia’s condemnation laws with disbelief, the reality is that the government can legally seize property under the Fifth Amendment. While the Fifth Amendment protects eminent domain seizure for the public use, eminent domain law is being used to transfer private property to private developers. While many people are fighting to place limits on eminent domain abuse, the reality is that many people lose their homes in America due to the condemnation process. If you’re facing losing your home, a condemnation lawyer may be able to protect your rights. Contact the Georgia condemnation lawyers at the Evans Law Firm today to learn more.
