Note: The

ROW Property Management Manual

provides guidance for disposition of property interests that are no longer needed for state highway purposes. Unless otherwise stated, procedures outlined below apply to property interests that are no longer needed for state highway purposes.

The following are the most common transactions:

Sale of Site and Any Improvements No Longer Needed for a State Highway Purpose to a GE
sale of site and any improvements no longer needed for a state highway purpose by sealed bid to the general public (see
Sealed Bid Sales
)
Exchange of Real Property
)

Unlike sales of right of way (fee simple) no longer needed for a state highway purpose, the abutting landowner does not have the priority to purchase sites and improvements that are no longer needed for a state highway purpose.
