Landowner Fairness Act
MCA supports modifying condemnation proceedings to ensure property owners are adequately compensated. This act also modifies the definition of "heritage value" to include property that has been owned within the same family for at least 20 years, rather than 50 years. Along those lines, language was added to provide additional compensation for beginning farmers and ranchers. This act requires 15-day notice to the property owner for purposes relating to surveying. It also protects against trespassing. Upon filing a condemnation petition, summons shall give the property owner at least 60 days, rather than 10 days, from the date of service before the petition may be heard. It also provides the property owner 30 days from the date of service to answer the petition.
