How long does it take to complete the Condemnation process?
Once you enter into a Condemnation Agreement with the City you may record your map, but you will not be able to build the improvements until the City Attorneys has an Order of Possession and the order has been served to the property owners. The time for getting the Order of Possession once you have entered into the agreement is about 6 months if everything goes smoothly. It takes about a year for the City Attorneys to finalize the Condemnation, possibly longer, at which time final fees will be calculated, assessed, and collected.
