the giving of land by a private person or entity to the government, typically for
a street, park or school site, as part of and a condition of a real estate development.
The local county or city (or other public body) must accept the dedication before
it is complete. In many cases there are "dedicated" streets on old subdivision maps
which were never officially accepted and, in effect, belong to no one. The adjoining
property owners can sue for a judgment to give them the title to the unclaimed (unowned)
street or property by a quiet title action or request abandonment by the government
which did not accept the street or other property.
