Compensation
The residue, what it will still support, and how it is valued once the project is built.
The remaining property, or residue, is whatever is left of your parcel after the acquisition. It is the thing you continue to own, continue to use and eventually sell, and it is the part of a partial taking claim that gets the least attention in an offer package.
Valuing it properly means asking not what area survives, but what that area can still do.
The short answer
Ask what the remainder could do before the project and what it can do afterwards. The gap between those two answers is the claim.
A parcel that no longer meets setback, parking or septic requirements may not support what it did.
Long, narrow or irregular remnants are harder to use and harder to sell.
Access is frequently the difference between a usable remainder and a notional one.
A road, embankment, pond or line at the boundary changes the character of what remains.
Small pieces cut off by a corridor may have no independent use at all.
If the appraisal assumes you can reconfigure or rebuild, check that the assumption survives contact with the site.
Both. The comparison between the property before the taking and the remainder afterwards is how severance damages are established.
Where a remnant has no reasonable independent use, that should be reflected in the valuation. Raise it explicitly rather than assuming the appraiser noticed.
Where a project produces benefits, how those are treated is a technical question worth raising with a licensed Florida attorney on your facts.
