HB 1622 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Adds provisions relating to just compensation for condemned agricultural and horticultural property

HB 1622 increases compensation for agricultural and horticultural landowners when their property is taken through eminent domain. It adds a new provision requiring compensation to include 1% of the fair market value for each year the property has been owned by the same family, starting at 50 years of ownership. This specifically affects family-owned farms and gardens where the taking prevents continued use in the same manner, with the owner needing to prove 50+ years of family ownership. The bill aims to provide higher compensation for long-term agricultural land preservation, separate from standard fair market value calculations.
