CACI No. 3512

Severance Damages—Offset for Benefits

activein force · 2022-01-01 – presentcompiled-edition

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.]
