Bureau of Right of WayWelcome to the Bureau of Right of Way!

As a result of transportation improvement projects it is at times necessary for the state to acquire private property to expand or improve the existing transportation system. The DOT Bureau of Right of Way is responsible for the acquisition of property rights required for transportation projects, the Uniformed Relocation Act of 1970 governs the process the Department follows.

We’ve also provided links to the laws which govern this process, a list of contacts you may call with questions, frequently asked questions that may be of interest and results of customer survey reports from previous projects that have been completed.
