state rule

One method of calculating compensation for condemnation of property under a government's eminent domain powers,it calculates the value of the land taken,the damages caused to any property not taken,and the special benefits enjoyed by the remaining property as a result of the condemnation. The numbers are all combined in the calculations to arrive at an award amount. Contrast with the federal method,which is a straight before-and-after analysis:the difference in the value of the entire parcel before condemnation and the value of the remainder after condemnation is the award.
