Amount of Payment

The continued occupancy incentive payment for each approved project will be based on the overall average rent for residential properties within the project, multiplied by four months. ROW PD will provide rental rates for dwellings on the project, along with the request to utilize this payment. The ROW Program Office will analyze these rates and establish an average rent. There are no provisions for a partial payment, only the full amount, if the displaced tenant continues to occupy the displacement site until TxDOT’s possession, either through negotiations or eminent domain. If for any reason the displaced tenant decides to move prior to TxDOT’s possession, he/she forfeits any claim to this incentive payment.
