CODE OF VIRGINIA

INSTITUTION OF CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS (§ 25.1-313)

The authorized condemnor shall institute condemnation proceedings with respect
to property described in a certificate any time after the recordation of the
certificate, but within 60 days after the completion of the construction of the
improvements upon the property described in the certificate, if (i) the
authorized condemnor and the owner or owners of property taken or damaged by the
authorized condemnor are unable to agree as to the compensation, if any,
attributable to such taking or damage, or (ii) such agreement cannot be obtained
because the owners or one or more of them are under a disability, are unknown or
cannot with reasonable diligence be found within this Commonwealth. However,
this section shall not require the institution of condemnation proceedings if
they have been instituted prior to the recordation of such certificate.
