§ 27-14. Buildings, structures and other improvements - Taking with
real property.
A. Where any interest in real property is acquired, an equal
interest shall be acquired in all buildings, structures or other
improvements located upon the real property which are required, by
the head of the acquiring entity, to be removed from such real
property or which he determines to be adversely affected by the use
to which such real property will be put.
B. For the purpose of determining the just compensation to be
paid for any building, structure or other improvement required to be
acquired as by subsection A of this section, such building,
structure or other improvement shall be deemed to be a part of the
real property to be acquired notwithstanding the right or obligation
of a tenant, as against the owner of any other interest in the real
property, to remove such building, structure or improvement at the
expiration of his term, and the fair market value which such
building, structure or improvement contributes to the fair market
value of the real property to be acquired or the fair market value
of such building, structure or improvement for removal from the real
property, whichever is the greater, shall be paid to the tenant
therefor.
C. Payment under this section shall not result in duplication
of any payments otherwise authorized by law. No such payment shall
be made unless the owner of the land involved disclaims all interest
in the improvements of the tenant. In consideration for any such
payment, the tenant shall assign, transfer and release to the
acquiring entity all his right, title and interest in and to such
improvements. Nothing in this section shall be construed to deprive
the tenant of any rights to reject payment under this section and to
obtain payment for such property interests in accordance with
applicable law other than this section.
