Water easements (servidumbres)

When the pipeline must cross third-party land, we constitute the easement in favor of AyA: surveying, registry work and the complex cases others abandon.

The problem

If your water line crosses neighboring properties, AyA requires a registered easement in its favor before receiving the work. It mixes surveying, the national registry, notary work and negotiation with landowners — and it is where many projects get stuck.

How we do it

  • Route and title study
  • Survey and easement plan
  • AyA approval and notarial constitution
  • Registration and delivery

Proven experience

Easements constituted in favor of AyA for ASOPROQUEPOS, Big Door Prize, Quintas Natura, Palmas Pacífica and Dimas, plus the complex El Salto case resolved after topographic corrections.

Applicable Costa Rican regulations

  • Requisitos base del plano de servidumbre a favor de AyA
  • Normativa del Registro Inmobiliario y Catastro Nacional
  • Ley Constitutiva del AyA (N.º 2726) sobre recepción de infraestructura

Frequently asked questions

The neighbor wants payment for the easement. Is that normal?

It can be onerous or free — it is a negotiation. We provide the technical file and support to formalize the agreement.
