== Usage == In a legal context, an appurtenance refers to a right, privilege, or improvement belonging to or that accompanies a principal property. For example, the Supreme Court of Minnesota has defined appurtenance as "That which belongs to something else. Something annexed to another thing more worthy." Applying this definition, an empty portion of land behind an adjoining house that is regarded as that house's backyard may be an appurtenance to the house. The idea being expressed is that the backyard "belongs" to the house, which is the more significant of the two properties.
