Abstract

The Property Management Section is a part of the Office of Right of Way and operates under the general administration of the property management supervisor. Property management duties are only part of the Property Management Section’s activities. In addition to property management, the section is responsible for records, payment and audit, and local public agency activities. However, this manual is limited only to property management activities. Manuals describing other activities of the Office of Right of Way are also available. The Property Management Section acts as a steward for the public’s assets. It accepts possession of real estate for the Iowa DOT and clears the right of way of property interests and improvements before construction. When practical, it may administer leases. It provides general management of property before, during, and after projects. After a project is completed, it disposes of land and improvements no longer needed.
