WisDOT eminent domain real estate forms and templates

REPM forms page 

This page is part of the Real Estate Program Manual (REPM). It is the official site to view all current approved WisDOT eminent domain real estate specific forms, READS templates and related documents. Forms are listed by category, then alphabetical by title. Any form referred to as a "READS template" is listed here in name only. This type of form must be generated directly from READS. Contact Camille Wilcox at (608) 261-8618 with questions regarding READS.

Note: If acquiring ROW for a Local Program or a connecting highway project, forms must be generated from READS. "Paper only" forms for these projects are found on the Local Program Real Estate Forms page. All deleted/obsolete forms are listed at bottom; users are reminded to stop using any reproductions of those forms immediately.

To quickly find any word or phrase, search page by pressing "ctrl + f." RE forms list is organized by category, then by title in alpha order (also see required DOA publications/brochures category and obsolete/deleted category).
