Easement

A legal right to use another party's land for a specific purpose. Easements run with the land and can restrict development.

Full Definition
An easement is a non-possessory right to use someone else's property for a specific purpose. Easements are appurtenant to the land — meaning they transfer with ownership and bind future buyers.

?
- ? Allows power, water, sewer, telecom companies to run lines across your property. These are often 10–25 ft wide and restrict permanent structures.
- ? Allows water to flow across your property. May prohibit filling or grading.
- ? Allows vehicle traffic to pass between adjacent parking lots. Common in strip centers and gas station-anchored developments.
- ? Allows a landlocked neighboring parcel to use your driveway.
- ? Permanently restricts development in exchange for tax benefits.

? Always order a current survey and title search. Easements are recorded on the deed but may not be visible on a zoning map. A utility easement running diagonally across a parcel can invalidate a drive-thru stacking lane design.
📐 Practical Example

A 15-ft utility easement along the rear property line reduces effective buildable depth by 15 ft.
