Title Transfer of USBR Projects - Schroeder Law Offices, PC

Reminder! Join us for the USCID webinar on April 12, 2023 at 11:00 AM (Pacific) to learn about title transfer of Federal reclamation projects to users and to take a look at an international database of irrigation projects throughout the world.

When the U. S Bureau of Reclamation implements and completes a project, such as a new reservoir or dam, it retains title and ownership. The operation and maintenance of the project is typically the responsibility and obligation of the project users. Title transfer is the process of conveying the title and ownership of these Bureau of Reclamation facilities to the project users.

In the past, absent an Act of Congress or otherwise, project users could not receive title to their water projects. In 2019 the law changed and now provides authority to move through the transfer process without separate and distinct Act of Congress. See: Title Transfer | Bureau of Reclamation (usbr.gov)
