A Release of Right of Way/Easement is a legal document used in Iowa to terminate or release a previously established right of way or easement on a property. This document extinguishes the rights and interests granted to the holder of the easement, giving the property owner full control and ownership of the affected land. In Iowa, there are different types of Release of Right of Way/Easement, each addressing specific circumstances: 1. Voluntary Release of Right of Way/Easement: This type of release occurs when both parties involved in the easement agreement mutually agree to terminate the right of way. It requires the consent and signatures of the property owner and the party holding the easement. 2. Vacation of Right of Way/Easement: This type of release involves the abandonment or discontinuation of a right of way or easement.

It requires the property owner to compensate the holder in exchange for terminating the right of way or easement. 4. Release of Easement Due to Non-Use: If an easement has not been actively used for a specific period, it may be released due to non-use. This type of release requires a legal process to establish that the easement holder has abandoned their rights. 5. Release of Easement by Necessity: When an easement was originally created due to a necessity that no longer exists, such as a road that has been relocated, this type of release is used. It requires documenting the change in circumstances and the agreement of both parties to release the easement.
