High-resolution satellite imagery shows your lot from above — house, yard, fences, driveway, and everything around them.
Trace fences, driveways, hedgerows, and sidewalks with the measuring grid to see where your yard actually is — and how big it is.
The most common reason people look up their property lines is a fence. Setting posts even a foot over the line can mean tearing the whole thing out later — and boundary mistakes are the root of most neighbor disputes. Knowing where the line falls before you dig is the cheapest insurance there is.
Landscaping raises the same question in gentler form: that strip along the driveway, the hedge row, the corner where three yards meet — is it yours to plant? And if you're buying a home, the listing photos won't tell you how the yard actually sits. Pulling up the satellite view on a property line map takes thirty seconds and shows you the whole picture from above.
Finally, permits and legal paperwork — sheds, additions, driveways — almost always reference setbacks from your property lines. Tracing distances on satellite with the free measurement tool is the fastest way to sanity-check a plan before you submit it.
County assessor and parcel records are the authoritative public source — every county maintains parcel geometry for taxation, published through assessor and GIS portals with varying freshness and interfaces. Plat maps and property surveys are more precise still — a recorded survey shows each boundary segment with bearings and distances, drawn by a licensed surveyor.
LotSite takes a different, simpler approach: it shows you satellite imagery of your address, and you identify and trace the boundaries you can see — fences, driveways, hedgerows, sidewalks. One caution from the field cuts both ways: fences and hedges are not property lines. Physical features drift over decades, and it's routine for a fence to sit a few feet inside or outside the legal boundary. Visible features are good indicators, not legal answers.

LotSite shows you what's visible from satellite imagery — you identify and trace the boundaries you can see. For most residential lots, visible features like fences and driveways track the legal lines closely enough for planning a project, estimating materials, or getting a feel for what you're buying.
Legal precision is a different bar. Only a licensed surveyor can establish a legally binding boundary, and the ground truth is the physical evidence — deed pins, monuments, and recorded markers set at your lot corners. County parcel records (via your assessor's GIS portal) are the recorded reference. Use LotSite for planning; bring in a surveyor when money or law rides on the exact line.
