Eminent Domain Base Year Transfer

If a government agency acquires property through condemnation, owners have the right to retain their existing base year value and transfer it to a replacement property. The replacement property must be comparable to the property acquired, and an application form must be filed with the Assessor's Office within four (4) years from the date of acquisition.
