Law No. 76-67 of July 2, 1976, regulates the expropriation of real estate for public utility and other land operations in Senegal. It replaces Law No. 66-01 of January 18, 1966, with the goal of accelerating procedures and establishing a more equitable system for calculating expropriation indemnities, specifically by limiting the state's payment of value increases resulting from public action.

• The law defines expropriation for public utility as a procedure allowing the State to compel any person to cede ownership of a building or real estate right, provided there is a declaration of public utility and a "juste et préala-ble indemnité".
• Expropriation may be used for various public projects, including public works, state services, public health, internal security, territorial defense, reforestation, mineral exploitation, and the production and distribution of water, electricity, gas, and hydrocarbons.
• To prevent the state from paying for value increases created by its own public actions, the law mandates that maximum land values for indemnity calculations be fixed by decree and revised based on the 'index pondéré de la série des prix de Dakar 1951'.
• An emergency procedure allows for the immediate taking of possession of property via a decree issued after an inquiry and a favorable opinion from the commission de contrôle des opérations domaniales, provided a provisional indemnity is paid or consigned.
• Property owners must pay a 'plus-value' indemnity to the State if their land value increases due to the approval of an urban plan or the announcement of public utility works; this indemnity is capped at 35% of the property's value as of one year before the plan's approval or the inquiry's opening.
