CACI No. 3512
Severance Damages—Offset for Benefits
The [name of condemnor] claims that the remainder of [name of property
owner]’s property has received a benefit from the project as proposed.
Y ou must determine the amount of benefit by determining any
reasonably certain increase in the fair market value of the remaining
property caused by the project.
[Y ou must then subtract that amount from the severance damages. If the
project’s benefit to the remaining property is equal to or greater than
the loss caused by the taking, then you must award zero severance
damages. Any benefits to the remaining property should not be
subtracted from the value of the property that [name of condemnor] has
taken.]
