On June 26, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 799 (HB 799) into law. HB 799 allows property owners in Florida to create easements on their own land while retaining ownership of both the dominant and servient estate.

Most states follow the principle that an owner cannot create an easement on its own land. The rationale behind this is that all uses of an easement are already covered by the general right of fee ownership. This was also the common law in Florida prior to the new law.
