Understanding Condemnation / Eminent Domain

Schedule a Free Consultation

“Eminent domain” is the power of a government to take private property, while “condemnation” is the procedural process of confiscation of private property for a public use. In common use, the term “condemnation” is interchangeable with the term “eminent domain.” In short, condemnation is the act of confiscating a private property for a public use and is legally permissible through the power of eminent domain, so long as the government provides payment of just compensation to the Owner for the private land being seized.
