What would be a fair price to allow a neighbor to gain access to my power pole, is there anything to beware of
my neighbor wants to get power to his property but doesnt have a pole on it yet so he has to tie into one of my poles on my property through an easement and he said to give him a price to gain access but i dont know exactly what he really gains access to besides the pole, Is there anything i should be aware of before i give him a price?
                     
 




Landlord
Ted, you need to check with the city planners to determine if it is even legal for you to charge him. If you own the pole, and not the power company you can charge him for use of the pole. However, you can not charge him for access to the pole if it does not belong to you personally. It is against the law to deny the easement, and you can not charge money for use of the easement. The power company is the actual one using the easement to provide power to their customer, not your neighbor.


phillip
Well unless he wants to piggyback off your power bill this is a bad thing considering your bill will skyrocket and if it is to get access to power and you didnt pay for the pole to be installed then it belongs to the state and they can hook whomever they like on it.


curtisports2
Do you own the power? If not, then you don't own the pole. The utility supplying the power owns the pole, and if they have an easement on your land, while you own the land, it is as if they own that little strip of easement. They can access it any time they want to get power to someone else. If this is the case, your neighbor doesn't have to pay you anything, nor does the utility.


sandrota
Forget about it. You will regret that decision.


freshmeatz
other then this is illegal? nahh nothing to beware of...

Sounds like the neighbor wants to obtain electricity illegally. The Electric/Utility Company will place the pole and line from the pole to his home. He has to pay for all that. Otherwise, he's trespassing and you can report him to the utility company for stealing power.
Know about this because our home was new construction. A relative is a local Contractor, who also built his own home.

For safety sake, electricity is nothing to play with-if for no other reason.


bostonianinmo
The utility company that is supplying the power almost certainly already has an easment on your property (and his) for the pole and power lines.

Your neighbor needs nothing from you. You have no control over the situation. Your approval is not needed since the utility company already has the necessary easements.

All your neighbor needs to so is contact the utiltiy company and they will take care of the rest. The utility company will extend the lines to his property and hook him up for whatever their usual connection charge is.


elizabeth
it could be illegal and if caught you can get fined. if he wants power i would tell him he just has to wait until he gets his.

I don't know what state you live in, but it's not your power pole.

as you said, there's an "easement" which means the electric company has the right to put ITS power pole on your property.

If your neighbor calls the electric company, he'll discover that they are legally obligated to extend power from THEIR pole that serves your house to his house.

If the distance is to great to string a wire from the electric company's pole on your property, they may have to install an additional pole. This additional pole might be on his property OR YOURS. Since they already have an easement to your land, they already have permission to do so. They'll almost certainly demand that your neighbor also give an easement on his property.

Bottom line? Don't charge your neighbor for use of a pole that is not yours. Be your "brother's keeper" and help your neighbor get power. Don't be tempted by greed.


jamesington
it could be illegal as you are not giving the electricity board money. maybe seen as fraud

Agree with Bobcat...the power company most likely owns the pole and has an easement from the street across your property to the pole. Your neighbor is asking for an easement from the pole in a different direction, which goes to his property. I would specify where his easement would be, and make it in the least conspicuous place, ie along the lot line, or behind a building. I agree a reasonable amount would be 75% of the next cheapest alternative


Bobcat
From my understanding of your question:

Your neighbor is requesting right of way to your power pole (not your electrical panel) so that he can run a power line to his home.

He will be billed separately and the utility is OK with it as long as you agree to the right of way.

If this is correct, the value is about 75% less than it would cost for him to get power from the next closest location to your pole.


bayliner
The electric company has brought service to my house, the neighbor also wants service to his lot, so the electric company supplied them with a meter on my pole. The neighbor trenched 5 feet on my property to lay his underground wires to the meter which he is responsible for. My question is does the neighbor have a right to cross my property line to bury his wires in my property with-out a easment. This is in conflict with use of my property .They could have went over head like us but did it this way because they wanted to do it cheaper. Please help
