Common Causes

Why This Happens in Florida

Utility easements restricting building plans that were not disclosed or understood before purchase
Prescriptive easement claims from neighbors who have used a portion of the property continuously
Easement by necessity for landlocked parcels under FL Stat. §704.01 blocking planned improvements
Conservation or environmental easements limiting development beyond what the owner expected
Drainage easements requiring maintenance obligations that conflict with landscaping plans
Overlapping or conflicting easement descriptions in recorded documents from different eras

How a Survey Resolves It

What We Actually Do

Boundary survey with easement location mapping from recorded plats and title documents
ALTA/NSPS survey identifying all easements (utility, drainage, access, conservation) with measurements
Easement exhibit preparation showing exact dimensions and relationship to proposed improvements
Setback-from-easement verification to ensure new construction complies with all restrictions
Survey certification for title companies documenting easement compliance or conflicts

Florida Statutes That Apply

The legal basis for this work. Every reference below is to current Florida law.

Chapter 704, Fla. Stat. — Easements (creation, types, enforcement)

Why It Matters

What Happens If You Leave It

Building on an unidentified easement can result in forced removal at the owner’s expense
Utility companies retain the right to remove structures within their easements without compensation
Title insurance claims denied when improvements are built within known easement boundaries
Property value diminished when easement conflicts appear in title search or ALTA survey
Prescriptive easement claims can become permanent if not identified and addressed within the limitation period
