I Have a Sanitary Sewer Right Of Way on My Property, Now What?
Right-of-way or easement is a legal term for the right to use another person's land for a specific purpose. Someone who holds a right-of-way may use or enter the land of the property owner, depending on the precise terms of the agreement. A right-of-way may be for an entire parcel or over a small specifically described area. A right-of-way does not grant any ownership rights, just the right to use the property for a specific purpose. These rights may be granted on a temporary basis, or the rights may be permanent.
