Temporary Construction Easement and Agreement for Highway Purposes
What is this form?
The Temporary Construction Easement and Agreement for Highway Purposes is a legal document that permits a political subdivision to temporarily use a parcel of land for highway construction. This form outlines the rights and obligations of both the landowners (Grantors) and the governmental entity, ensuring that public infrastructure can be improved while protecting the interests of the landowner. Unlike permanent easements, this document is intended solely for the duration of the construction project.
Key parts of this document
- Identification of Grantors and the political subdivision receiving the easement.
- Description of the property involved and limits of the temporary easement.
- Terms of payment to the Grantors for the use of their property.
- Conditions under which the property will be utilized during construction.

When this form is needed
This form should be used when a governmental entity needs to temporarily access private land for highway improvements.

It is also applicable when relocation of existing structures or property improvements is necessary as part of the project.
