Most easements are recorded on or attached to the deed for the property that you own. Another place that you could search for an easement is at city hall. Any easement that is recorded on the title to your property will include a reference number.

How do easements arise?

The implied grant of an easement arises out of an express grant or disposition of the servient or dominant tenement (or the simultaneous disposition of both). An easement can only be implied where both the dominant and servient tenements have been in common ownership.

How do I find my right of easement?

Sometimes easements and rights-of-way can be hard to locate. Typically, they can be found in the legal description of the property. Contact the county for more information on the easements. They should be able to give you more details about the easements and show you specific plot maps regarding the deed in question.
