Concerning a municipality's right to condemn real property due to a threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

Summary

  • Provides a process for a property owner subject to condemnation to file an action in court to determine whether the property poses an identifiable threat to public health, safety, or welfare or to give the owner an opportunity to remove the threat.
