§ 7267.2.
(a) Prior to adopting a resolution of necessity pursuant to Section 1245.230 and initiating
negotiations for the acquisition of real property, the public entity shall establish an amount which it
believes to be just compensation therefor, and shall make an offer to the owner or owners of
record to acquire the property for the full amount so established, unless the owner cannot be
located with reasonable diligence. The offer may be conditioned upon the legislative body's
ratification of the offer by execution of a contract of acquisition or adoption of a resolution of
necessity or both. In no event shall the amount be less than the public entity's approved appraisal
of the fair market value of the property. Any decrease or increase in the fair market value of real
property to be acquired prior to the date of valuation caused by the public improvement for which
the property is acquired, or by the likelihood that the property would be acquired for the
improvement, other than that due to physical deterioration within the reasonable control of the
owner or occupant, shall be disregarded in determining the compensation for the property. The
public entity shall provide the owner of real property to be acquired with a written statement of,
and summary of the basis for, the amount it established as just compensation. Where the property
involved is owner occupied residential property and contains no more than four residential units,
the homeowner shall, upon request, be allowed to r eview a copy of the appraisal upon which the
offer is based. Where appropriate, the just compensation for the real property acquired and for
damages to remaining real property shall be separately stated.
