A condemnation action is a lawsuit where a government is exercising eminent domain to procure private property for some public use or benefit.

Condemnation in real estate occurs when a government seeks to take property from a private owner, either through eminent domain or some other governmental function. Generally, in a condemnation proceeding, the court must decide whether the taking is legal and appropriate compensation.

A condemnation action is a lawsuit where a government is exercising eminent domain to procure private property for some public use or benefit.

Condemnation proceedings are initiated by a state to commit private property to public use. States, state agencies, and private persons who are authorized to exercise functions of a public character can take private owner's property for public purposes.

If you're dead set against selling your property to the government, you have the right to fight eminent domain in court. However, the only way to pull off this feat is to prove the government does not plan to use your land for justified public use — an unlikely outcome.

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.

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.

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.

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.
