Condemnation

From Real Estate

Condemnation is the taking of private property for public use by a government unit, against the will of the owner, but with payment of just compensation under the government's power of eminent domain. Condemnation may also be a determination by a governmental agency that a particular building fails building code and is unsafe or unfit for use.
