This bill caps the amount of additional payments required under the eminent domain law to persons who are displaced from a business or farm operation when the condemnor is a county, redevelopment authority, or community development authority.
Under current law, a property owner or tenant who is displaced from a business or farm operation and purchases or rents a comparable business or farm operation may be entitled to a payment for certain costs from the condemnor. If the condemnor is a village, town, or city, the payment to a property owner is capped at $100,000 and the payment to a tenant is capped at $80,000. The bill applies these caps to payments when the condemnor is a county, redevelopment authority, or community development authority.
