Owners get fees after higher jury awards
Beginning November 1, 2025, owners can get key fees repaid in some condemnation trials. If you ask for a jury and win at least 10% more than the greater of the commissioners’ award or the last timely written offer, the condemning party must pay your reasonable attorney, appraisal, engineering, and expert witness fees. A written offer is timely if made before 75 days after the commissioners’ report. The court sets the amount, and either side can appeal.
Owners get fees if condemnor loses or quits
Beginning November 1, 2025, owners get fee repayment in more condemnation cases. You qualify if the condemning party alone asks for a jury, the case is abandoned, or the court says it cannot take the property. The jury award must be at least 90% of the greater of the commissioners’ award or the last timely written offer. The condemning party must pay your reasonable attorney, appraisal, and engineering fees. An offer is timely if made before 75 days after the commissioners’ report.
