What is an encroachment release and why is it needed for some Clark County utility easements?

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.

We notarize encroachment releases across Downtown Las Vegas, Downtown Summerlin, Summerlin South, and Henderson. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements, Real Estate Closing Notarization, and Notary with Witnesses Provided.
