Stop Eminent Domain Abuse

Stand up and Protect Property Rights

Sign The Letter

Dear Official(s),

I urge you to support HB0444 which protects non-blighted
property from condemnation, while preserving authority for housing authorities
and community development agencies to condemn truly blighted property for
redevelopment.
I support Property Rights Protections to prevent government
from using eminent domain to take non-blighted property for re-development.
Furthermore, property owners should have the opportunity to correct building
code violations before their property is determined to be blighted and
subsequently condemned for private development.
Please vote YES on HB 444/SB 480!
I urge you to support HB0444 which protects non-blighted

Sincerely

Under Tennessee law housing authorities and community development agencies can use the power of eminent domain to take private property from its owner(s) and transfer that property to another private owner(s) for private redevelopment and private benefit in so-called “blighted areas.” Under Tennessee’s broad definition of “blighted areas” such areas may contain individual properties that present no sign of blight. Both blighted and non-blighted properties in the aggerate are subject to eminent domain for private redevelopment. Email your legislators and tell them to stop government agencies from using eminent domain to take non-blighted property for re-development.
