Before a property changes hands, every easement on it should be known: what it restricts, who it protects, and what it means for the people involved. WithEasement makes that instant.

An easement is a legal right that allows someone other than the property owner to use a specific part of that land for a defined purpose, permanently recorded in public records and binding on every future owner.
They don't appear on listing photos. They don't come up in casual conversation. But they shape what a property can and cannot become, sometimes profoundly.
Permanently restrict development to protect natural resources, habitat, or open land. Often held by land trusts or government agencies. No building, ever.
Permanent restrictionGrant utility companies the right to run infrastructure, including power lines, gas pipelines, and water mains, across private land. No permanent structures in the zone.
Infrastructure accessAllow the public or specific parties to cross private land. Common in dense urban areas or as conditions of development permits.
Right of wayReserve a corridor for stormwater management. Often run along property edges. Prohibit filling, grading, or any alteration of the drainage channel.
Stormwater managementRequire that land remain in agricultural use. Common in rural counties. Prevents conversion to residential or commercial development.
Land use restrictionA buyer purchased a property planning to add an accessory dwelling unit in the backyard. A conservation easement covered the rear 40% of the lot. No ADU, no variance, no exception.
A developer acquired a parcel for a retail strip. A pedestrian easement ran diagonally across the site, required as a condition of the previous subdivision approval. The building footprint had to change.
A family bought a home and began landscaping. A utility easement for a high-pressure gas line ran through the middle of the yard. No trees, no structures, no deep-rooted planting, permanently.
