The process by which eminent domain occurs is called?

  1. zoning

  2. police power

  3. condemnation

  4. escheat

The correct answer is: condemnation

Ab Zoning refers to government regulation of land use, while eminent domain is the power to take land for public use. Ad: Physical or intellectual property can escheat to the state if there are no living heirs or beneficiaries, but this is not related to eminent domain. Bd: Police power refers to the government's ability to regulate and enforce laws for the safety and well-being of its citizens, but this does not involve the taking of private property for public use.
