To gain access to a county road, what must Owner A do if selling a piece of his property to Buyer B?

  1. Purchase another property

  2. Apply for a public road access permit

  3. Owner A must reserve an easement appurtenant for himself

  4. Nothing, access is automatically granted

The correct answer is: Owner A must reserve an easement appurtenant for himself

An easement appurtenant is a type of property right that gives the owner of one parcel of land the right to use another nearby property for a specific purpose. In this case, Owner A must reserve an easement appurtenant for himself in order to grant Buyer B access to the county road through his property. Option A is incorrect because purchasing another property would not necessarily grant access to the county road. Option B is incorrect because a public road access permit is not necessary in this situation. Option D is incorrect because access is not automatically granted, it must be legally granted through an easement agreement.
