What does it mean for a structure to be appurtenant?

The concept of a structure being appurtenant relates to its function and relationship to the main property. A structure is considered appurtenant when it is an integral part of the main structure or property, enhancing its value and usability.

When a structure is appurtenant, it typically means it is attached to or associated with the primary property in such a way that it supports or serves that property. Common examples include a garage, a shed, or any other facilities that provide utility to the main residential or commercial building.

The idea that it can be added later without exclusion is not a defining characteristic of appurtenance, nor is being a separate building on the same property. Instead, the integral nature of the appurtenant structure to the main property signifies its essential role in context and utility, thus enhancing the overall value and functionality of the property.
