Condemnation action

A condemnation action is a legal process where the government takes private property for public use, such as building roads, schools, or parks. This process is guided by the principle of "eminent domain," allowing authorities to seize property while compensating the owner fairly. The owner may challenge the property's value or the necessity of the acquisition in court. Ultimately, the aim is to balance public needs with private property rights, ensuring that individuals receive just compensation for their loss while enabling development that benefits the community.
