Appurtenant commonly refers to easements or covenants, and also refers to permanent additions or improvements to the land. Appurtenant rights and restrictions pass to new owners as the land is sold or transferred. Most frequently, a house, garage, or swimming pool would be considered appurtenant property examples.

An appurtenance is something that goes with or pertains to ownership of a piece of real property, but isn't necessarily a physical part of the property. Air rights, water rights, mineral rights, and support rights are all examples of appurtenances.

An appurtenance (something that is transferred with or "runs with" the land) is a right or privilege associated with the property, although not necessarily a physical part of it. Typical appurtenances include parking spaces in multiunit buildings, easements, water rights, and other improvements.

An easement appurtenant "runs with the land." This means that: The easement becomes a part of the land itself (the dominant estate). If the owner of the DOMINANT ESTATE dies or sells the property, the easement remains with the dominant estate.
