The right to property can only be limited in the public interest. In such limitation processes, the value of the immovable is determined first, and then the determined immovable price is paid to the owner of the immovable. Subsequently, the registration of the said real estate is transferred to the administration. Expropriation procedures are carried out in two types as normal expropriation and emergency expropriation.
In the normal expropriation process, all legal transactions of the immovable to be expropriated are carried out before the immovable is transferred to the administration. In some cases, all legal proceedings, except for the determination of the value of the immovable, begin after the immovable is transferred to the administration. This means urgent expropriation procedures. In this case, it is mostly done by the General Directorate of Highways.
It should be noted that only state institutions can carry out the expropriation process. Here, the unit that will expropriate must first take a decision of public interest. The public interest decision taken afterwards is approved by the relevant authority. Thus, the expropriation process begins.
The administration, which will carry out the expropriation, prepares a plan showing the surface measurement and boundary of the immovable, finds the owners of the immovable to be expropriated through the title deed and population records and notifies the aforementioned decision to the relevant parties.
