A business owner has a 1000 square foot lot he has been using for parking. The Department of Transportation has come out and essentially changed the zoning and eliminated the lot as a place for parking.
Is there some sort of tax deduction for something like that - when the government does something to make a property worth significantly less than it had before?
Yes, there may be a claim that it's a "taking" that needs to be compensated. But that's a different question.
Thanks for any thoughts.
