    Default Public Utility Trespassing on Private Property

    My question involves personal property located in the State of: North Carolina
    recently I've had a situation where the public utility came out onto my property with equipment cutting down small trees and limbs below a power line that runs directly across my personal property I did not give them authorization I want to know if my rights have been violated as a property owner.... I looked at my deed and there's no easement for public utility anywhere on the survey.... I'd like to add that my power to my home comes in from that direction however the power lines for the rest of the neighborhood all routed over my property

    There is assuredly an easement for the overhead lines that would give the utility the right to maintain the easement without your permission. You just haven't found it yet. Just because the easement doesn't show on you deed or survey doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


    Call the electric company and ask if they have any information on the easement.
