And this is absolutely false. The fact that an easement exists on YOUR property does not make it any less your property. It only means you have agreed to grant access to it (limited and specific) to another entity or entities. In our case the utilities companies. It is still your owned property, not just your responsibility to care for. This is a misinterpretation that needs to stop being perpetuated as it encourages others to think of your ownedproperty as community property, which it is not.

What Is An Easement In Real Estate?

An easement is defined as the grant of a nonpossessory property interest that grants the easement holder permission to use another person's land. Easement itself is a legal term for a type of property right held by the users of the easement.
