Right-of-way acquisition is the process of securing the legal right to use or access private property for public or infrastructure purposes. This can involve purchasing property outright, negotiating easements, or acquiring other property interests required before construction can begin.

The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Policies Act is a federal law that establishes minimum standards for how public agencies acquire property and relocate people displaced by federally funded projects. It ensures fair treatment and just compensation for affected property owners.

Timelines vary depending on the number of parcels, project complexity, and landowner cooperation. A simple acquisition might take a few weeks. A large infrastructure corridor could take months or longer. We work with clients upfront to establish realistic timelines and manage expectations.

We are based in Loveland, Colorado, and primarily serve Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, and Texas. We have experience working on projects across the broader Western United States.

An easement grants the right to use a property for a specific purpose, like running a utility line, while the landowner retains ownership. A fee acquisition is an outright purchase of the property. The right approach depends on the nature and permanence of your project's needs.

If your project requires access to, use of, or purchase of property that belongs to someone else, whether for a road widening, utility installation, or facility construction, you likely need professional right-of-way services. We are happy to evaluate your situation and advise on next steps.
