CA · encoded, in review
Right-of-way and eminent domain acquisition in California.
California's timing runs forward from a mailing rather than back from a hearing. Under §1245.235(b)(3) the owner has 15 days after the resolution notice is mailed to ask to be heard, and the right is waived otherwise. The sharper deadline is §1250.410: at least 20 days before the compensation trial each side files a final offer and final demand, and an unreasonable offer against a reasonable demand exposes the condemnor to the owner's litigation expenses, including attorney, expert and appraiser fees.
California is encoded but not released
The California pack exists and every statement on this page was read against primary sources on 17 August 2026. It is not shipped: the pack is marked partially verified, CA is not in the platform's contract jurisdiction list, and the deadline interface cannot drive it. So the product will not derive a California date for you today, and we are not selling California pilots.
We publish this because the work is real and you should be able to see it before you commit to anything. Texas and Indiana are the two states that ship. Tell us you need California and it moves up the queue.
What the California pack encodes
Deadlines derived per parcel
The pack turns California procedural requirements into concrete dates and required steps on each tract, so the clock is visible before a date slips rather than after.
Every rule carries its citation
Each requirement traces back to the statute it came from, and each pack is versioned, so you can see which version of the rules a parcel was worked under.
Counsel approves before it goes out
Offers, notices, and filings route to attorneys through review gates. The platform prepares the work; counsel decides what is sent.
A record built as you work
Every offer, notice, appraisal, and approval lands in the audit trail as it happens, so each parcel carries a complete binder if the taking heads to condemnation.

This page is not legal advice. It describes what the California rule pack tracks inside LandGrantIQ, and it summarizes published statutes and decisions with the source attached so you can read them yourself. It does not tell you what any of it requires of your project, it is no substitute for your own counsel's judgment, and no part of it creates an attorney-client relationship. Filings always require attorney review and approval.
