Inverse condemnation occurs when a government effectively takes private property for public use without following the formal process of condemnation or without providing just compensation, as required by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Property owners who believe their property has been taken in this manner can file an inverse condemnation action against the governmental entity to seek compensation.
This legal concept is an inverse of the more commonly known process of eminent domain, where the government actively seizes property but must compensate the owner.
Inverse condemnation covers situations where the government's actions result in the taking or damaging of property without directly seizing it, such as through excessive regulation, restrictions that deprive property of all economic use, or physical invasion or damage.
Property owners must prove that a government action has significantly affected their property's value or use it to claim compensation under inverse condemnation.
Property Law: Involves the protection of private property rights against unauthorized government takings.
Constitutional Law: Relates to the interpretation of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
A common misconception is that inverse condemnation applies only to real estate or land. In reality, this principle can apply to any type of property, including personal property, that has been taken or damaged by governmental actions, affecting its value or utility to the owner.
