Hidden utility rights-of-way and maintenance obligations affect your home’s value — and its safety. Most homeowners never see them.
Why it matters
Maximize your value
A strip of your land can carry someone else’s legal right to use it — a power line, a sewer main, a neighbor’s driveway. That right is called an easement, and it limits where you can build, what you can plant, and what a buyer will pay. Most of it is on the public record and almost nobody looks.
Your report shows what affects your parcel, what you can and cannot do there, and what to do about it — including the documents that should exist and usually don’t. Where your county publishes an assessed land value, it also puts a range on what the easement costs you.
Protect your home
When a utility runs equipment across your neighborhood, somebody is responsible for keeping it clear and in repair. Often that is the utility, not you — and when it is neglected, the risk lands on the people living there rather than the people who owned the duty.
Your report names who is normally responsible for maintenance, repair and putting your land back after work — so you know whose job it is before it matters.

Questions people ask
What is an easement, in plain English?
It is someone else’s legal right to use part of your land for a specific purpose — running a power line, maintaining a sewer, crossing to reach their own property. You still own the land. They have a right to use that part of it, and you generally cannot build over it or block their access.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is educational information drawn from public records and general rules. It is not a survey, not an appraisal, and not a legal opinion, and no attorney has reviewed it. For anything that matters — buying, selling, building, or a dispute — talk to a licensed professional in your state.
Do you store my address?
We don’t store it. It is used once to build your report, and our own records are built so it cannot get into them — that is a property of the code, not a promise someone has to keep. One honest limit: the address is in this page’s web address, so it reaches your browser history like any URL. The privacy page sets out exactly what that means.
Which areas are covered?
Full county records for Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego County, Cook County today. Any other address in the country still produces a report — the restrictions, the maintenance duties and the hazard data are the same everywhere.
What needs your county’s own figures is the money. Without a published land value the report tells you it cannot price the easement, rather than reaching for a national average — land is not worth the same per square foot in two places, and a figure that ignores that is worse than no figure.
