If the acquisition of a portion of a typical residential property causes the displacement of the owner from the dwelling and the remainder is a buildable residential site, VDOT will offer to purchase the entire property. If the owner refuses to sell the remainder which is a buildable site to VDOT, the fair market value of the remainder will be added to the acquisition cost of the acquired property for the purposes of computing the maximum purchase supplement payment.\n\nB. Remaining uneconomic remnant. If the owner refuses to sell the residue that is an uneconomic remnant to VDOT, the value of the take and damages to the remainder will be used in computing the replacement housing payment.\n\nC. Larger tract than normal. If the acquired property is a dwelling on a significantly larger site than typical for residential use in the area, the maximum replacement housing payment is the asking price of a comparable replacement dwelling on a tract typical in size for residential use, less the acquisition price of the acquired dwelling and the portion of the site which represents a typical size residential lot in the area. The following calculation shows how this amount is determined:\n\nExample\n\nPartial Take From Larger than Typical Residential Site\n\nThe displacement dwelling is on a five-acre site. One-acre lots  are typical in the area. The house and three acres are being acquired.  Appraised value: $125,000 (no remainder damage). The appraiser valued land at  $5,000/acre. A comparable house on one acre is available. It is estimated it  will sell for $120,000 (adjusted listing price).\n\nComparable property\n\n$120,000\n\nLESS: Displacement property\n\n$115,000\n\nMaximum Purchase Supplement Amount\n\n$5,000\n\n* $10,000 value of two acres of acquisition area excess to  typical lot has been deducted.","path":["Title 24.
