Can the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or its contractors gain access to my property without my permission?
In order to gain access to a private property, the Army Corps issues a Right-of-Entry (RoE) form to the property owners to obtain their consent for entry and also to protect their rights and privacy. A RoE form lays out what activities the Army Corps plans on conducting, the duration of time they will need to gain access to the property, and what actions will be taken if damage to the property occurs, whether intentional or not. The Army Corps provides a 24-hour notification to the property owners when they plan on gaining access to the property.
