If the purpose of condemnation is to obtain property for use as part of an Iowa homesteading project under section 16.14, the application required under section 6B.3 may contain a verified statement that the property sought to be condemned is abandoned and deteriorating in condition, or is inhabited but is not safe for human habitation, or is or is likely to become a public nuisance, and that the property is suitable for use and is to be used in an Iowa homesteading project. Other information may be included. The statement must be verified by the Iowa finance authority or by a local agency authorized under rules of the authority. Upon proper filing of the statement and the report of the condemnation commission assessing damages, and deposit of the amount assessed with the sheriff, the applicant for condemnation may take possession as provided in section 6B.25 if the property is abandoned, or may take steps to obtain possession after ninety days from the date of the filing of the statement, report, and deposit, if the property is inhabited.
