§ 88.037. Condemnation of property — assessment by jury.
All owners of property to be appropriated shall take notice of the confirmation of the report of the commissioners as to the assessment of benefits, and any owner of property to be appropriated may, within ten days after such confirmation, file with the clerk his request that the assessment of damages made by the commissioners be set aside as to his property and that the damages be assessed by a jury.

The judge shall set the time for trial, allowing a reasonable time for preparation.
