Send your details

Before you write. Have the letter, plan sheet or offer package to hand if you have one, and note which body is acquiring and what they propose to take. Those two facts shape everything else.

"*" indicates required fields

What is useful to include

The county and the road or project name

Virginia projects are usually identifiable, which makes everything faster.

What stage you have reached

Notice, survey request, offer, certificate filed, or petition served.

What is being taken

Fee simple, permanent easement, temporary construction easement, or the whole parcel.

Whether a business operates there

Lost profits and lost access are expressly within just compensation in Virginia after 2012.

Any dates on the paperwork

Deadlines turn on them, and they are easily missed.

This is an educational resource. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and contacting us creates no attorney client relationship. Please do not send confidential information through this website. Confirm any deadline, statute or figure with a licensed Virginia attorney before acting on it.

Not sure where to start?

Work through the four situations first. Most owners find their position in one of them.
