Land Acquisition Process

Land Acquisition Process

Land acquisition is a significant part of any public improvement project, and the success of a project’s land acquisition is based upon the experience, knowledge, skill and efficiency of the land acquisition team. This team may include a combination of acquiring agency or company employees and private consultants or predominantly private consultants.

Yasmin L. Stump Law Group, PC (YLSLG) has assisted numerous land acquisition teams at both the pre-condemnation and eminent domain or condemnation stages. The firm’s unique business model has been designed to maximize efficiency and expeditiously acquire parcels for acquiring agencies and companies on public improvement projects. As the chart below shows, the land acquisition process is initiated in right-of-way engineering, progresses to appraising, then buying and ultimately may proceed to legal proceedings. The length of time in each land acquisition phase varies based upon multiple factors, but, ultimately, the pace of the land acquisition is crucial. The YLSLG legal team is keenly aware that acquisition speed is critical to meet project deadlines. YLSLG works closely with its project team members to keep projects on track to ensure that project deadlines are met in order to avoid costly and embarrassing project delays.
