Five quit claim deeds were approved giving property to landowners from the county at the recent Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting.

Washington County Engineer Jacob Thorius explained why they were going through the process, “A variety of locations around the county, actually three locations where some landowners have approached us about releasing some excess right of way, because we’re not doing anything to the road, changing or altering that or anything, we don’t have to go through the public hearing process.” He said this property will also go back onto the tax roll. Locations included land along G26, on the Coppock Road, and near the Germanville Road.
