Evidence of Good Title: Exhibit "A" Property Maps and Exhibit "C" Title Opinions

Contact:  Chip Kraus 517-335-9755
Agency: Transportation


Airports receiving federal assitance for airport development projects must hold "good title, satisfactory to the Secretary" (of Transportation) to the airport being developed. To meet these requirements, a sponsors' title must be free and clear of any reversionary interest, lien, easement, lease, or other encumbrance that would create undue risk that might deprive the sponsor of control or possession, interfere with its use for public airport purposes, or make it impossible for the sponsor to carry out the obligations and covenants in the grant agreement. Satisfactory evidence of good title includes an attorney's title opinion that is properly tied to an Exhibit "A" Airport Property Map.

The Exhibit "A" is a graphical representation of property owned by an airport and any avigation easements purchased from adjacent properties.  The document must be updated after each land acquisition project.  If an Exhibit "A" has not been completed, it must be included with the next land acquisition project.  The Exhibit "C" title opinion is prepared by the sponsor's attorney and should be completed in conjunction with the Exhibit A update.

***  Exhibit C Title Opinion  must be completed prior to project closeout.   Sample Title Opinion    

**Please note:  the Exhibit A and Exhibit C is required at all federally funded airports and must be updated prior to project closeout. 

Copies of the latest approved/signed Exhibit "A" property maps can be obtained by contacting the Airports Division at (517) 335-9755 or via  EMAIL.
