Abstract :Energy transmission lines established for the public good impact private real estate, creating an obligation for expropriation. In expropriation procedures, the expropriation compensation is paid to the owner of the real estate. The accurate determination of the expropriation compensation is of great importance. Various problems and errors are encountered in determining the expropriation compensation. This study addressed the errors made in determining the expropriation compensation by categorizing them. Additionally, the errors made in compensation determination are explained with numerical examples. It was concluded that the largest errors in the determination of expropriation compensation were, in order: errors arising from the incorrect selection of the value reduction rate at 600%, errors related to the distinction between irrigated and non-irrigated agricultural land at 203%, and errors resulting from using total net income instead of the annual average net income in the net income calculation at 200%. In each example provided, the errors were addressed separately. However, considering that several of the aforementioned errors in expropriation practices may occur in the same valuation, the determination of compensation must be carried out objectively and with great care.
