HOW WE KNOW THIS

Where this comes from.

GDOT publishes which road projects are funded and where each one runs on the map. Bartow County publishes the boundary of every parcel in it, and we hold 61,757 of them. We measure from the center of GDOT's published project line to your property boundary. That distance is what the check above gives you.

We only count a project once GDOT has it under construction, in the construction work program, or in the long range program. Those are the ones the state intends to build. Studies and concepts that may never happen are left out.

What we cannot tell you is how much of your property is affected. GDOT draws the right of way line late, project by project, and until they do nobody knows, including them. We measure to the centerline, so close to the line is not the same as inside the take.

WHAT THE PLANS SAY ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY

We read GDOT's own documents for your address.

Knowing a project is near you is the free part. What GDOT's plans actually say about your parcel is the part nobody tells you. We find the documents for the project nearest your address, read them, and write you a plain report: what is drawn near your land, what stage it is at, what happens next, and whether you need a lawyer, a broker, or neither.

$49, delivered within 24 hours.

If GDOT has not drawn a take line for your parcel yet, we will tell you that plainly. We do not guess at what will be taken.

Finding out you are not affected is an answer, and we will say so plainly. We refund you if the project never moves to construction, or if our analysis reveals there is no proximal connection between the parcel and the project.

THE ACQUISITION PROCESS

What happens after right-of-way is authorized
