What is Expropriation?

Definition of Expropriation

Expropriation is the act of compulsory seizure of privately owned property by a government to be used for the public's benefit. Typically, governments or agencies can enact expropriations by making changes in legal code, tax code, or regulations such as zoning. Expropriation often leaves the original owner of the property with little or no compensation for their expropriated property.
