What Happens to Condemned Houses? If you own a condemned house, your possession is seized by the government. Owners and other occupants are forced to leave immediately and condemned signs warning that the dwelling is unfit for anyone to live in are posted in a public spot, usually on the front door.

If you received a condemnation notice or a notice that your property may be needed for a public project, it means that a federal, state or local government authority is seeking to acquire your property (or an interest in your property) using the power of eminent domain.

If there are occupants living in the house at the time it is condemned, they will need to move and cannot return unless necessary renovations are made to the house to address the reasons it was condemned. If homeowners make all the necessary repairs, the house can usually be removed from condemned status.

Condemnation Award means all proceeds of any taking of real or personal property, or any part thereof or interest therein, for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner, or transfer in lieu thereof.
