License

A license is temporary permission to use another's land.  A license is personal property, not real property.

 

A license is permission to do a particular act on another's property, usually on a non-exclusive basis.  A license is personal property and is not an interest in the land itself.

 

A license is temporary and may be revoked by the owner at any time.  A license terminates when the land is sold or at the landowner's death.

 

Example:

 

A farmer allows people to fish in his lake for $12 per day.  The Corps of Engineers allows you to camp on Lake Lanier for $25 per night.  Both of these land uses are licenses.
