Under what circumstances can property owners take back their land after it has been taken in an eminent domain proceeding OA If land taken by eminent domain is not redeveloped or reused within 10 years the original owner may buy back the land for the price the owner received for it 10 years before O B In a hostile eminent domain procedure if the former landowner continues to occupy becomes a squatter on the land and authorities do not attempt to remove him within 60 days the land reverts to the owner OC There are no scenarios in which a removed landowner may retake control of a seized property OD Before an eminent domain proceeding closes and a judgment is entered a legal landowner may take steps to pollute or otherwise destroy the land making it no longer desirable by the government Q
