Easement

Whenever Habersham EMC constructs new lines an easement is required. The easement is a legal document granting HEMC the right to construct the new lines and must be completed by the landowner.

Please pay special attention to the bolded words. A few tips:

• The name on the easement must match the name on the deed. The "Post Office Address" is the mailing address for the landowner. (This should not be the address of the property where the lines are to be constructed, unless that is where the landowner receives mail.)
• A copy of the plat may be useful as you fill in the easement as the land lot numbers, district, magnetic north and boundaries are clearly labeled. For example, if your property is bordered by a creek to the north, a road to the south, a person to the east, and another person to the west then you would complete the easement with that information.
• If the property is owned by a company, then an officer of the company must sign the company name then the officer's name and title.
• All easements must be signed in front of a Notary Public.
• HEMC must receive the original easement. No paperwork will be passed on to the Engineering and Construction departments until the easement is received.
