Florida law requires full compensation for your property.  This means that the value the market would place on your property along with all reasonable fees and costs of the litigation shall be borne by the condemning authority.  The condemning authority in Florida can be the state or a local government or a utility company or a school board.   You may not be safe from having your property taken, however, you should be properly represented and receive full compensation for your loss.      ADORNO LAW FIRM, PL P.O.
