An encroachment release is used when a structure such as a fence, wall, shed, or landscaping sits inside a recorded easement corridor. The release acknowledges the condition and preserves the utility’s right to access the area in the future.
- What it covers: Identifies the encroaching improvement, sets access terms, and clarifies who pays to move or replace the item if maintenance requires removal.
- Why it is notarized: The release affects property rights and is recorded with the county. A proper acknowledgment allows the Recorder to accept and index it.
- Who signs: The owner of record or authorized representative. A utility, HOA, or developer may countersign depending on the form.
- Practical tip: Attach a clear exhibit map that matches the legal description to prevent rejection.
