Section 25-7 - Lands Acquired for Highway Purposes but Unused

Occasionally rights-of-way may be purchased but due to changes in the project, either cancelled or relocated, the property is not incorporated into the required right-of-way and is declared surplus. When this occurs the following procedure shall be followed.

(a) The property will be sold or traded back to original owner, if original owner owns land adjacent.

• (i) If land becomes available for sale or trade within two years of purchase, the land will be offered to the granting party for original purchase price provided they are still the adjacent landowner.

• (ii) If availability occurs after two years, the land will be offered for sale or trade to the granting party for current fair market value, if granting party is adjacent owner.

(b) Trade for other lands needed for highway purposes.

(c) Sell by private agreement for not less than current fair market value due to mitigating circumstances on surrounding lands as determined by the Director.

(d) Sell at public auction for not less than current fair market value after providing adequate and legally required public notice.
