Which state is putting in new requirements for pre-condemnation surveying access for private companies that have eminent domain authority? West Virginia
What are the new requirements for pre-condemantion access? To receive pre-condemantion access to private property, the condeming entity must:
- send a letter via certified mail
- the letter must be sent 15-to-60 days before the date of the survey
What sparked this bill? A court stopped precondemnation access for surveyors because public use had not been proven at the time of the pre-condemnation access
