Can a telephone company attach lines to your property without your permission?
If the telephone company has a recorded easement against your property, they may install telephone lines to the extent allowed by the easement. You can find out whether there is such an easement against your property by looking in the title insurance policy you received when you bought your property. If you see a telephone easement listed, you can get a copy of it at your county courthouse. If you don't see any telephone easements in the policy, or have questions about the extent of such easements, call the title insurance company.
