What’s in it
57 relating to providing the notices and documents required under Code chapter 6B, and the property owner fails to timely respond to all, but not less than two, such notices, documents, or other correspondence from the acquiring agency, the district court, or the compensation commission, the amount of damages awarded to the property owner shall be reduced by an amount equal to the additional actual costs incurred and additional reasonable attorney fees paid by the acquiring agency relating to the condemnation proceedings.
Read the full explanation
The bill also specifies conditions under which the acquiring agency is deemed to have paid in full the damages awarded without any further action. The consequence for failing to timely respond to such notices and documents must be clearly stated on each notice or document provided to the property owner. The bill applies to condemnation proceedings for which the application is filed on or after July 1, 2022.
