Fox, Licensed Realtor EMINENT DOMAIN QUESTION: My town wants to build a highway and my house is in the way. Can it take my property without my consent? ANSWER: I'm afraid the answer is . . . YES! It can do it by the power of eminent domain. This is the right of the government to take private property for public use with just compensation paid to the property owner. The town does not need the property owner's consent. The town will appraise the property and offer you the fair market price for it. If this amount is not acceptable, you have the right to recourse in court to challenge the price but not the taking. IF YOUR PROPERTY is taken by eminent domain, you must receive just compensation.
