Public Sector
Briggs Right of Way Services assists local, county and state governments, public and private water systems, railroads and airport authorities to acquire right of ways to improve or maintain service. Our management team has over 125 years of combined experience acquiring rights of way and performing land services.

PRE-ACQUISITION
During the pre-acquisition phase we work closely with surveyors while preparing limited title certificates. Carefully selected right of way agents, who are best suited to work with the landowners in each specific project area are assigned to the project. Excellent landowner and regulator relationships start here and are critical to the success of every project.
