Canal Real Property Management

Canal Real Property Management (CRPM) is the entity who manages the Corporation's real estate interests. CRPM acquires, leases and disposes of real property, maintains land and transaction records, and issues revocable permits for varied uses of canal land and waters. 

Permits

Permits grant permission for the provisional/revocable use of Canal real property, as long as the use aligns with Canal System operation and Corporation's objectives. Obtaining a work permit authorizes physical alterations or improvements to Canal property, and requests for short-term access.


Sales & Leases

Under specific circumstances, property along the Canal will be sold or leased. Sales and leases of Canal real property undergo careful consideration by the Corporation and relevant advisory bodies. Learn more about sale or lease scenarios and other important property factors.
