[PART IV. 
ACQUISITION OF PRIVATE PERSONAL PROPERTY]



 



§101-71  Taking private personal property
for public use.  In connection with the taking for public use of private
real property, the State or any county may take for a public use private
personal property which it deems necessary or convenient which has been
permanently upon or has been used in connection with the real property being
taken.  Just compensation must be paid for personal property so taken.  Actions
under and by virtue of this section shall be commenced by filing a complaint
and issuing a summons thereon.  If an action is initiated for the taking of the
real property, the action for the taking of the personal property must be
joined to it.  The complaint shall contain, with reference to the personal
property sought to be condemned, a statement of the use to which the property
is to be put and a description of the property and shall join as defendants all
persons who are owners or claimants thereof.  The procedure for the acquisition
of private personal property shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this section, be the same as in other actions brought under this chapter unless
the provision by its terms is clearly inapplicable to the acquisition of
personal property. [L 1972, c 84, pt of §1; am L 1974, c 77, §1]
