From INDOT highway takings and Summit Carbon CO₂ pipeline easements to NIPSCO or Duke Energy transmission corridors and solar farm acquisitions — National ROW fights to maximize your Indiana compensation. Zero upfront cost.
Indiana eminent domain law is governed by Indiana Code Title 32, Article 24 (the Quick-Take statute). Indiana is a quick-take state, meaning the condemning authority can take possession of your property quickly after depositing its appraisal with the court — while the compensation battle continues. This makes early professional representation critical.
Indiana's quick-take procedure allows agencies to take possession after depositing estimated compensation. You can withdraw the deposit while continuing to fight for more. Because possession transfers quickly, it is critical to begin independent appraisal and negotiation immediately after receiving any offer.
The Indiana Department of Transportation manages one of the most active highway expansion programs in the Midwest. Projects including I-69 completion, US-31 improvements, and I-465 upgrades regularly require right-of-way from private landowners. INDOT's opening offers are based on their own appraisals — and independent appraisers consistently find additional value that INDOT's appraisers miss. National ROW represents Indiana landowners throughout the state, obtaining independent appraisals and identifying severance damages to the remainder.
Summit Carbon Solutions is routing its CO₂ capture pipeline through Indiana farm country. Indiana landowners are receiving easement offers that may not reflect the full long-term impact of hosting a high-pressure carbon dioxide pipeline — including soil disruption, drainage tile impacts, surface use restrictions, and reduced marketability. National ROW negotiates CO₂ and natural gas pipeline easements exclusively for landowners in Indiana.
Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), Duke Energy Indiana, and AEP are all actively expanding transmission infrastructure across Indiana. Transmission line easements permanently encumber your property, restricting activities in the corridor for the life of the line. We negotiate transmission easements for Indiana landowners, ensuring full compensation for the easement area and all downstream impacts on the remainder of your property.
Do not accept the first offer. Indiana landowners who negotiate — especially with professional representation — consistently receive more. We review your situation at no cost and only get paid if we increase your compensation.

Yes. Indiana law grants eminent domain authority to common carriers, utilities, and certain pipeline companies. CO₂ pipeline companies have sought this authority in Indiana — whether they qualify is subject to legal challenge in some cases.
Indiana requires payment of fair market value for property taken, plus severance damages to the remainder. For partial takings, this means compensation not only for the land taken but for any reduction in value to the land you keep.
You have the right to hire an independent MAI-certified appraiser. If INDOT's offer is lower than your independent appraisal, you can reject the offer and negotiate — or allow the case to proceed to a condemnation hearing where three court-appointed appraisers set compensation. Either party can then appeal to a jury trial.
"We never tell a landowner to just take what the government offers — we find out what they are actually owed."
Whether you have received an INDOT offer, a transmission company easement proposal, a pipeline offer, or a visit from a ROW agent — National ROW reviews your case for free and advises you on next steps. No upfront cost. No obligation.
