The Alabama Declaration of Vacation of Utility and Drainage Easement is a legal document used by the state of Alabama to officially terminate the easement of a utility or drainage easement. This document is typically used when the utility or drainage easement is no longer needed or is being replaced by another easement. It is also used when the easement has become unnecessary due to changes in the land, such as the construction of a new road or the alteration of a waterway. The Alabama Declaration of Vacation of Utility and Drainage Easement must be signed by both the owner of the land and the utility or drainage company. It must be properly recorded in the county records office and can be either a blanket easement or a specific easement. The document must also include a detailed description of the land, a description of the type of easement being vacated, and the signatures of all parties involved. Different types of Alabama Declaration of Vacation of Utility and Drainage Easements include: • Blanket Easement: A blanket easement allows for the termination of all utility and drainage easements on a certain piece of land. • Specific Easement: A specific easement allows for the termination of a single utility or drainage easement, such as one for a power line, sewer line, or roadway. • Perpetual Easement: A perpetual easement allows for the termination of a utility or drainage easement that will remain in effect forever.
