The power to take personal property to benefit the public is called eminent domain.

The most recent opinion from a state's highest appeals court regarding eminent domain emphasized that the state constitution mandates the exercise of this power strictly for public use.

The police power refers to a government's authority to regulate behavior and enforce order for the health, safety, and general welfare of the public, while eminent domain is the power to take private property for public use, with just compensation. In contrast, the power of taxation is the government's ability to impose financial charges on individuals and entities to fund public services and infrastructure. While police power and eminent domain involve direct interactions with property rights, taxation primarily focuses on financial contributions without necessarily taking possession of property. Each power serves distinct purposes in governance and public policy.
