Abandonment in Idaho
Abandoned Highways or Public Rights-of-Way
If the highway or public right-of-way parcel to be abandoned and vacated has a fair market value of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) or more, a charge may be imposed upon the acquiring entity, not in excess of the fair market value of the parcel, as a condition of the abandonment and vacation. However, no such charge shall be imposed on the landowner who originally dedicated such parcel to the public for use as a highway or public right-of-way. If the highway or public right-of-way was originally a federal land right-of-way, said highway or public right-of-way shall revert to a federal land right-of-way.
Any order or resolution is to be recorded in the county records and the official map of the highway system is to be amended as affected by the abandonment and vacation.
