§ 25.1-307. Content of certificates; recordation of certificates.

A. A certificate shall set forth the description of the property being taken or damaged, and the owner or owners, if known, of such property. If a temporary construction easement is being acquired, the certificate shall set forth the calendar date on which it shall expire if that date is known to the condemnor. If the condemnor certifies that such date is not known, at such time the condemnor ascertains the date, the condemnor shall file certification of the information as provided by subsection B and shall simultaneously provide the landowner or the landowner's counsel, if any, a copy of such certification.

B. The authorized condemnor shall record a certificate of take or a certificate of deposit in the clerk's office of the court where deeds are recorded. The clerk shall record the certificate in the deed book and index it in the names of both (i) the person or persons who owned the land before the recordation of the certificate and (ii) the authorized condemnor.
