This is a sample form for use in transactions involving easements, a Consent To Encroachment (Into Easement). Used when there exists an encroachment by house (or other) into said Easement, as illustrated by a survey. Easement Owner, admits to being aware of said Encroachment and consents thereto and represents that Easement Owner, will not require the removal of the house (or other type encroachment) and will not require the attached improvements to be removed.
If you don’t secure this consent, you might face fines, be ordered to remove the encroachment, or run into trouble with future property sales.
In most cases, it shouldn’t negatively affect your property value, but it’s wise to check with a real estate expert to make sure.
The timeline can vary, but typically, it can take several weeks for the city to review and approve your request depending on various factors.
Common easements include utility easements, sidewalk easements, and drainage easements, which allow others to use parts of your property for specific purposes.
You can check your property deeds or ask the city’s planning department for information on any easements that may affect your property.
You need this consent to ensure that your construction or extension doesn’t cause any legal issues with your neighbors or the city, keeping things above board.
A Consent To Encroachment is a legal agreement that allows property owners to build or extend their structures into an easement area without violating local laws.
