Law.com reported that the Florida Redevelopment Association, a Tallahassee-based consortium of municipal redevelopment officials and planners, recently proposed changes in Florida’s takings law. The changes include affording property owners advanced notice of condemnation hearings and as much as 150 percent of the government-appraised value of their land. Under Florida law now, property owners get no notice of hearings and only the appraised value of their land. Representative Jack Seiler of Pompano Beach also recently stated that property takings will be one of the top issues in the Florida legislature in March, 2006.
