What utility easement means
A utility easement is a strip of a property where a utility has the right to run and reach lines, so building there is limited.
Where it matters on a general contracting job
Fences, sheds and patios in an easement may have to come out if the utility needs access. Check the plat before quoting, and always call the dig line before you dig.
