Legal rights are enforceable by legal institutions and can be invoked in courts of law. Examples include the right to free speech, the right to vote, the right to privacy, and the right to due process under the law.
A Surface Right is essentially ownership of the land that one can see. It includes the normal use and enjoyment of the land and all that comes with it: land, roads, rivers and streams, lakes, and the right to all native and livestock animals on the land.
Examples of surface rights include the rights to build a house, plant crops, raise livestock, grow timber, and access groundwater. As long as you dont break laws, you can do whatever you want with what you can generally find on your property.
How Deep Are Surface Rights? Surface rights typically extend aboveground and can also extend dozens of feet below the surface. Owners can often bury tanks, septic systems, or store heating oil underground without impacting ownership, within the limits of applicable state or municipal laws.
Surface rights are the legal rights of a property owner to use and enjoy the surface of their land. These rights may include building structures, farming, or other activities on the lands surface. However, it is essential to note that surface rights may not always include ownership of what is underneath the ground.

There are two types of rights that may be included in land ownership: surface rights and mineral rights. A landowner may own the rights to everything on the surface, but not the rights to underground resources such as oil, gas, and minerals.
