An Illinois Temporary Construction Easement (ICE) is a legal document that grants a property owner the right to use a portion of another person's property for a specific period of time for construction-related activities. The easement is typically granted for a limited period of time, such as the duration of a construction project, and is revocable upon completion of the project. Ices are used to provide access to a property for construction purposes, such as the installation of utilities, or for other activities that require access to the land, such as the use of heavy machinery. There are two types of Ices in Illinois: Permanent and Temporary. A Permanent ICE is an agreement between a property owner and a party seeking to use the property for long-term activities, such as the installation of utilities or the construction of a building or structure. A Temporary ICE is a contract between a property owner and a party that needs access to the land for temporary activities, such as construction projects or other activities that require access.
