Q: Working with ODOT on purchase of surplus land Highway Easement. They have B S ed now 18 Months..... frustrating
.62 Acre just off Kerr Lab Road Survey info but no visit and Appraisal asking $12,259. Oh I paid the owner $20. k back in 03 2018 (quick claim deed) 71 years old have made about $50. k improvements. What a challenge. Do not know how to use a firearm. Need to make decision by 29 or up for State Auction.
A:
It sounds as though you are confused by the process. If the state (ODOT) cannot negotiate an easement they will resort to eminent domain. Still you have statutory and constitutional protections.
You don't need a gun, you need an attorney.
