severance damages

    0.02 sec.
severance damages

The compensation to a property owner after the government takes some portion of real property by condemnation under its eminent domain rights and,as a result,causes a decrease in value to the remaining property.

Example: Annie's Corner Grocery received a $135,000 condemnation award when the city took one-half of the grocery's parking lot in order to expand the library, and an additional $200,000 in severance damages because the grocery store itself was now much less valuable with the smaller parking lot.


Severance Damages
Payment received because part of a property is condemned and the value of the retained part is thereby decreased.
