A Federal land transfer is the conveyance of property, usually by highway easement deed, to a State or local public agency either directly by a Federal land management agency or by the FHWA on behalf of the land management agency. These transfers are made to allow the construction or improvement of a highway facility on Federal land.
The Office of Real Estate Services created this toolkit with the input of realty specialists from Federal agencies across the country as a clearinghouse repository of information related to processing Federal Land Transfers. The content is intended to help practicioners working in this program area.
