Easements

[builtright3]

Hey Guy's,

 

I was trying to figure out the best way I can verify utility easements for the properties that I’m drawing plans for and building on.

I would usually tell the owners to get me the tile /deed for the property and also go to the county clerk’s office but I’m told that is not always accurate.

I’m also being told that the best way is to get a preliminary report from a title company but that takes a little time and is very expensive.

 

I’m working in California. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Most counties have a GIS and for each property on the GIS their is typically a link buried somewhere to the assessors map of record

I order a new survey for every project (where required), so I leave it to the surveyor to figure out. It limits my liability. I also get a DWG of the survey to create my topo model from.
