County forcing owners out via eminent domain

County forcing owners out via eminent domain represents the power of eminent domain, not police power. Eminent domain involves taking private property for public use with compensation, while police power regulates without taking.

State acquiring title through escheat represents the doctrine of escheat, where property reverts to the state when no legal heirs exist. This is distinct from police power which regulates land use.
