Who owns the NBU utility easement?
The property owner owns the land upon which the easement is located. However, NBU has the right of way to enter upon that land for specified utility purposes. How is an NBU utility easement created? Utility easements are created when a subdivision of land is approved by the city or county. Utility easements may also be created by a separate agreement between the owner of the property and NBU. Easements are generally located along streets, lot lines, or between two lots when created by a subdivision of land. How do I know if there are any easements on my property? Easements are usually recorded in the real property records of the county in which the land is located. The existence of a recorded easement should have been identified by the title company handling the purchase of your property. You may presume there is an easement over a portion of your property if you see utility lines on your property. Contact NBU at 830-608-8991 or 8993 for information about NBU easements.
