What is Inverse Condemnation?

Increasing an owner's land value through state intervention
A law limiting land use, depriving the owner of economic interest
A process to appeal property taxes
Government purchase of private property for public use

The correct answer is: A law limiting land use, depriving the owner of economic interest

Inverse condemnation is the legal term for a situation where a government takes private property without following the proper eminent domain process. This means that the owner is deprived of the full use or value of their property without just compensation. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a process that would increase the value of the owner's land, whereas inverse condemnation is a situation that could result in a decrease in land value. Option C is incorrect because it is not directly related to private property rights. Option D is incorrect because it describes the proper eminent domain process where the government purchases private property for public use, rather than taking it without just compensation.
