AI Easement Detection
The Problem
“Your valuations ignore hidden easements—until they blow up deals and risk models”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Easements and ROWs are buried in scanned plats/deeds, forcing manual, slow, error-prone review
Valuation outputs vary by reviewer and often miss buildability/use constraints that change true market value
Surprises late in the deal cycle trigger re-appraisals, renegotiations, and lender exceptions
No consistent way to map easements to parcels and feed them into AVMs/appraisal explanations
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Manually read deeds, plats, surveys, and title commitments to find easements/restrictions
- •Interpret legal descriptions, measurements, and exhibit references; reconcile inconsistencies
- •Create narrative summaries and attach exhibits for appraisers/underwriters
- •Decide when to escalate to surveyor/title counsel for ambiguous cases
Automation
- •Basic keyword search in document repositories
- •Static GIS overlays (when available) without document-level extraction
- •Spreadsheet/database entry and templated report generation
Human Does
- •Review AI-flagged exceptions/low-confidence detections and approve final constraints
- •Handle edge cases (poor scans, conflicting instruments, unusual local recording formats)
- •Define policy rules (what constraints affect valuation, underwriting thresholds, audit requirements)
AI Handles
- •Ingest and OCR recorded documents; extract easement clauses, parties, dates, and affected areas
- •Detect and classify easement types (utility, access, drainage, conservation, setbacks) and normalize terminology
- •Derive geometry from plats/surveys; link constraints to parcels and map them in GIS
- •Score confidence, flag conflicts (e.g., overlapping easements), and generate audit-ready explanations
