Understanding utility easements: What homeowners need to know
SUMMARY: Understanding utility easements is crucial for homeowners, as utility workers often leave messes after performing work on properties. Homeowners should examine their property surveys, which indicate utility easements—typically a 3 to 5-foot strip on their land. Utility companies can access these easements without permission to maintain their equipment. While companies are required to restore the area after work, issues often arise, such as damaged property. Homeowners should avoid building permanent structures on easements, as they risk losing those additions if utility companies need access. Reviewing property surveys can help homeowners know their rights and responsibilities regarding easements.

Utility easements are a common but often overlooked aspect of homeownership. If you’ve ever purchased property, you should have received a survey that outlines these easements. For some homeowners, like one in a recent case, this information can be critical—especially when unexpected issues arise.
