Tip - How Will You Know If Your Property Is Condemned?

If your property has been condemned, you will be notified in writing by a government agency. In some instances, you may also be served with a summons and complaint. If you do receive such a notice, it is important to understand that it doesn't mean the property is being condemned because it is worthless or has deteriorated and is not up to code. Rather, the government needs the land for public use. Public uses for which land is condemned may include, among other uses, the construction of airports, schools, roads, parks, railroads, housing projects, and/or other public buildings.
