A public easement is an easement that gives all people (the public) the right to use and enjoy a tract of property such as a street, sidewalk, park, or beach.
In Florida, a public easement is a legal right that allows the public to use certain pieces of property for specific purposes, such as streets, sidewalks, parks, or beaches. These easements are typically established by the government to serve the public interest and are often recorded in the property's deed or plat. Public easements are maintained by governmental entities such as cities, counties, or state agencies, depending on the type of easement and its location. The public's right to use these areas is protected by law, and interference with these rights can lead to legal action. Florida law recognizes the importance of public easements for transportation, recreation, and utility services, and these easements are enforced to ensure that the public can continue to enjoy these benefits.
