It is important to contact an attorney with experience and specific knowledge of the condemnation process as soon as you are made aware that your property may be taken or impacted by an entity possessing the power of eminent domain.  The eminent domain laws in the State of North Carolina provide very specific timelines and deadlines to respond to a threat of taking by eminent domain. Failure to act promptly within these time constraints can result in a loss of rights and may prevent a property owner from receiving their full and fair compensation under the law.
