Idaho Easement for Utilities, Streets - Subdivision
Overview of this form
The Easement for Utilities, Streets - Subdivision form is a legal document that grants a party (the Grantee) the right to use a portion of another party's property (the Grantor) for utility purposes and access roads within a subdivision. This type of easement ensures that while the Grantee has the right to utilize the land for essential services like water, electricity, and telecommunications, the Grantor retains ownership of the property, which will be passed down to their heirs.

When termed as a utility easement, it means a utility company's right to access and control the portion of another person's land that is located near utility facilities and structures (i.e. utility poles, transformers, overhead or underground electrical lines).
So, having an easement on a property may have a permanent outcome on the property with rights of the home owner. But not all easements are bad.If you live in a rural area, you run into bad easement issues more often, typically where the easement was created by a parcel owner next to your land.
The bottom line is that developers and builders who are presented with utility company easement forms should not just sign them, but think about the kinds of issues they can present. It is easier to negotiate these concessions up front before the lines go in, than to ask the utility company to amend its easement later.
1. Easement in gross. In this type of easement, only property is involved, and the rights of other owners are not considered. For example, a public utility line easement would be an easement in gross and would be recorded in the public records.
Utility easements are one of the most common types of easements for private property, which generally allow public utility companies access to the property for the purpose of installing, repairing and maintaining utility lines.
An easement in gross is personal to the party that receives the benefit of easement. An example of an easement in gross is an easement to a utility company to run a power line across a burdened piece of property. The utility company is the benefited party and there isn't necessarily a benefited parcel of land.
