What if the Government Takes Part of My Property and that Lowers the Value of the Rest of My Property?

If the government only takes part of your property, the payment you receive should take into account any negative impact on the remaining property. For example, your remaining property may no longer comply with zoning ordinances, or you might not be able to use it for the purpose you originally acquired it for.

Often, the government underestimates the damages caused to your remaining property as a result of the taking.
