Improvement Levy, Expropriations, and Compensation Claims

Our firm possesses extensive expertise in representing private landowners and entrepreneurs involved in complex, large-scale projects. We handle all necessary procedures related to determining improvement levy amounts, assignment agreements, and indemnification letters before local committees.

We represent landowners in improvement levy assessments before deciding appraisers, appeal committees, and courts. We collaborate closely with real estate appraisers hired for this purpose.

Additionally, our firm manages compensation claims under Section 197 of the Construction Planning Law. This section allows property owners whose property value has decreased due to city building plan approvals to file compensation claims against local planning and construction committees for the resulting loss in value.

We also handle expropriation cases involving state entities, such as NTA for metro and light rail projects, as well as cases against local committees.

Our approach involves securing appropriate expropriation compensation through negotiations with expropriating authorities and, when necessary, pursuing legal proceedings in various courts, including the Commission of Expropriations, and engaging with expert appraisers. We also address matters related to expropriation execution and cancellation as required.
