Where Your Property Ends
(and theirs begins)
Property lines aren’t always as clear as they should be. Whether you’re putting up a fence, planting along the edge, or just trying to avoid mowing your neighbor’s yard, it’s worth confirming exactly where your land begins and ends.
Knowing your boundaries offers more than peace of mind. It can help prevent disputes, support a future sale, and keep things friendly between neighbors.
• Start with your deed
Your property deed includes a legal description of your lot, including measurements, shape, and landmarks. The language can be a bit technical, so if it’s tough to interpret, your real estate agent can help walk you through it.
• Check county records
Your local assessor’s or recorder’s office is another great resource. Look for the plat map—an official drawing that outlines your property lines. Many counties now offer digital access, so you may be able to find this online without making a trip to the office.
• Look for physical markers
If you’re lucky, there may be survey stakes still in place—especially with newer homes. These markers can be just above or flush with the ground. Check corners and fence lines carefully.
• Hire a professional surveyor
For the most accurate results, a licensed surveyor can confirm the exact boundaries of your property. While it’s a bigger investment, it provides legal documentation you can rely on—especially helpful if you’re planning a build or settling a disagreement.
Why it matters
Clarifying your property line now can save you time, money, and stress down the road. From new projects to future resale, it’s one more way to protect your home—and your peace of mind.
