Finding Your Property Lines
Manage episode 441410050 series 3365885
Thinking of putting up a fence, installing a shed, seeding your lawn? Many home improvement projects require knowing where your property lines are (sometimes exactly).
Knowing where your property lines are before undertaking many projects will help protect your property rights and reduce disputes with neighbors.
To find your property lines, you have several options:
1. Check Your Deed or Survey
• Deed: Your property deed often includes a legal description of your property, which defines its boundaries. It might describe the property in relation to landmarks or coordinates.
• Survey: If you have a property survey, it provides precise measurements and a detailed map of your property lines. You might have received this document when you purchased the property.
2. Look for Physical Markers
• Property Markers: Surveyors often place iron pins or concrete markers at the corners of your property. You can locate these markers with a metal detector or by measuring distances from known landmarks (like roads or utility poles) as described in your deed.
3. Visit Your Local Government Office
• County Assessor or Recorder's Office: You can obtain property maps, records, and sometimes surveys from the local county office. Many counties offer access to online Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which allow you to view property boundaries.
4. Use an Online GIS Mapping Tool
• County GIS: Many counties provide online tools that allow you to view property lines on a map. Most GIS system that lets you search by address and view property boundaries.
5. Hire a Professional Surveyor
• If you need precise property lines for legal purposes or construction, hiring a professional surveyor is the most accurate method. They will use equipment and official records to mark your property boundaries.
