Displacing Agency. If you self -move, you may move your personal property using your own employees and equipment or a commercial mover. If you and the Displacing Agency cannot agree on an acceptable amount to cover the cost of the self -move, you will have to submit full documentation in support of your claim. You may elect to pay your moving costs yourself and be reimbursed by the Displacing Agency or, if you prefer, you may have the Displacing Agency pay the mover directly. In either case, let the Displacing Agency's relocation agent know before you move. The Displacing Agency agent can help you select a reliable and reputable mover. When a payment for "actual direct loss of personal property" or "substitute personal property" is made for an item, the estimated cost of moving the item may be based on the lowest acceptable bid or estimate obtained by the Displacing Agency. If not sold or traded -in, the item must remain at the old location and ownership of the item must be transferred to the Displacing Agency before you may receive the payment. In addition to the reimbursable expenses described above, a small business, farm or non - profit organization may be eligible to receive a payment of up to $25,000 for expenses actually incurred in relocating and reestablishing its operation at a replacement site. Eligible expenses must be reasonable and necessary, as determined by the Displacing Agency. They may include but are not limited to the following: 1. Repairs or improvements to the replacement real property as required by federal, state or local law, code or ordinance. 2. Modifications to the replacement property to accommodate the business operation or make replacement structures suitable for conducting the business. 3. Construction and Installation costs for exterior signage to advertise the business. 4. Redecoration or replacement of soiled or worn surfaces at the replacement site, such as paint, paneling or carpeting. 5. Advertising of replacement location. 6. Estimated increased costs of operation during the first 2 years at the replacement site, for such items as: a. Lease or rental charges b. Personal or real property taxes c. Insurance premiums, and d. Utility charges (excluding Impact fees) 7. Other items that the Displacing Agency considers essential to the reestablishment of the business. The following is a non - exclusive listing of reestablishment expenditures not considered to be reasonable, necessary or otherwise eligible: • Purchase of capital assets, such as, office furniture, filing cabinets, and machinery or trade fixtures. • Purchase of manufacturing materials, production supplies, product inventory, or other items used in the normal course of the business operation. • Interest costs associated with any relocation expense or the purchase of replacement property. • Payment to a part -time business in the home which does not contribute materially to the household income. ©1980.2014 Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
