The city may *choose* to pay you to move (especially if they feel that some small relocation payment will make things go faster and easier), but they have no legal obligation to do so. You write that you are living on vacant land owned by an individual: it is not your land, so you have no property interest in or any entitlement to compensation for it, and as a general matter, no legal payment is required when someone is evicted. Being evicted means you don't have a right to stay there any more; with no right to possession or occupancy, you have no right to compensation.
