This following describes the materials needed and steps involved in a right-of-way (ROW) vacation. This process takes roughly 90-120 days from
submittal until the decision to vacate is made.
1. Submit the required materials to the Department of Community Development, located at 900 Church Street (second floor):
a. One (1) original signed ROW vacation application, complete with metes and bounds description (usually provided by a surveyor)
and any adjoining owner signatures.
i. Be aware that any disagreement by affected adjoining land owners may result in City Council denying the ROW
vacation.
b. Six (6) copies of a sketch (or plat) showing the ROW to be vacated.
c. Three (3) copies of a title search or opinion from an attorney or title examiner determining ownership of the right-of-way after
it is vacated. A copy of a sample opinion letter is included with the right-of-way vacation application
i. In order for the ROW to be vacated by the City, the ownership of the ROW after it is vacated must first be
determined. As a petitioner (or their representative) interested in having the City vacate ROW in order to serve the
petitioner’s interest, you will be required to provide this information.
ii. Past laws dictating how ROW was dedicated and annexation history of the ROW need to be taken into consideration
during the research process. Here are some, but not all, things to consider when performing the title research:

2. If the ROW is public, in which locality (city or county) was the ROW dedicated?
a. When was the ROW dedicated?
b. Which law was in effect at the time of dedication? Certain acquisition years mean the City/locality

owner dedicating the ROW to the locality.
c. Was the ROW dedicated by deed, plat, or prescription?
d. Did the locality accept the ROW?
e. Was the ROW dedicated to VDOT?
i. ROW dedicated to counties was most likely state maintained and state owned.

maintaining the ROW.

vacated right-of-way is included with the Right-of-Way Vacation Application.
