TE ROW Procedures

There are times when ROW is needed for a TE project.  The sponsor or another government entity must own in fee simple or have a long term interest through lease or easements for all property incorporated into the project.

The property must be acquired in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4601, et seq. And 49 CFR Part 24) (Uniform Act).  This also applies to property being donated.  These requirements apply and must be met whether or not federal TE funds are used in the property acquisition phase.

The following information and links are to assist you with the ROW phase of your project in order to comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4601, et. seq. And 49 CFR Part 24) (Uniform Act):
