condemned property

A condemned property or building is one that a municipality (city or town) has closed, seized, or placed restrictions on because it is determined to be unsafe, unsanitary, or otherwise a risk to public health and safety.

The circumstances under which municipalities may condemn properties are usually described in local or municipal ordinances.

In Arizona, the condemnation of property or buildings is governed by a combination of state statutes and local municipal ordinances. Municipalities have the authority to condemn properties that are deemed unsafe, unsanitary, or pose a risk to public health and safety. This is typically done through the city or town's code enforcement department, which enforces building codes, zoning laws, and other regulations related to property conditions. When a property is condemned, the municipality may require the owner to make necessary repairs, demolish the structure, or may even take possession of the property through eminent domain for public use. The specific procedures and standards for condemnation vary by municipality, so property owners must refer to their local ordinances for detailed regulations. Additionally, Arizona Revised Statutes Title 12 - Courts and Civil Proceedings, and Title 33 - Property, may provide overarching legal frameworks that guide the condemnation process at the state level.
