CJI-Civ. 36:3
Ascertainment of Value of Property Taken
You are to determine the value of the property actually taken, and, after having
determined such value, you are to state that value in your (certificate) (verdict).
The value you are to determine for the property actually taken is the reasonable
market value for such property on (insert valuation date). “Reasonable market value”
means the fair, actual, cash market value of the property. It is the price the property could
have been sold for on the open market under the usual and ordinary circumstances, that is,
under those circumstances where the owner was willing to sell and the purchaser was
willing to buy, but neither was under an obligation to do so.
In determining the market value of the property actually taken, you are not to take
into account any increase or decrease in value caused by the project for which the property
is being acquired.
