Eminent Domain

Introduced·3/5/25

North Carolina H310 proposes a constitutional amendment to restrict eminent domain to public use and ensure just compensation with jury trial rights.

North Carolina H310 seeks to amend the state constitution to restrict the use of eminent domain to public use only. It also mandates that just compensation be paid in all condemnation cases, with the right to a trial by jury. The bill specifies that private and local public condemnors can acquire property for public benefit, while other public entities can acquire property for customer connection purposes. The amendment will be submitted to voters in the 2026 general election.
