APPLICATION for RELINQUISHMENT of ACCESS CONTROL
The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) obtains specific rights to prevent access to
the state highway system from properties on certain priority routes. The South Dakota Transportation
Commission may authorize sale of these rights at fair market value when such action will not harm
public safety or traffic operations. Landowners will be responsible for acquiring the appraisal to
determine fair market value and upon approval by the commission, must pay the appraised value to the
SDDOT. Authorization of the Federal Highway Administration may also be required. Use this form to
request relinquishment of access control. Use a separate form for each area of relinquishment
(maximum 40 feet of frontage). Submit to appropriate SDDOT Area Office. A listing of offices is
provided on the second sheet of this application. Relinquishment of access control does not
automatically convey a permit to build an access approach. An approach permit must also be submitted
and approved.
