Type the address of your home — or any property you want to look up. We cover over 150 million parcels across all 50 states.
The parcel boundary from county assessor records is drawn over the satellite view, so every side of the lot is visible.
Use the free painting and tape-measure tools to measure frontage, depth, or trace irregular boundaries side by side.
Lot dimensions are the linear measurements of a property — most commonly expressed as width by depth. A "60 x 120" lot is 60 feet wide and 120 feet deep. They describe the shape of your land, which is different from lot size, the total area in square feet or acres. That same 60 x 120 lot has a size of 7,200 sq ft.
Two dimension terms come up constantly in real estate listings, fence quotes, and permit applications. Frontage is the width of the lot along the street — it determines curb appeal, driveway options, and often zoning requirements. Depth is the distance from the street to the back property line.
Not every lot is a tidy rectangle. Corner lots, cul-de-sac "pie" lots, and flag lots can have four, five, or more sides of different lengths. For those, a single width x depth figure doesn't tell the whole story — you need to see and measure each boundary segment, which is exactly what a satellite parcel map makes easy.
There is no single national database of lot dimensions. Depending on where you look, you'll find different levels of detail — and a surprising number of blank fields. Assessor dimension fields in particular are frequently missing or outdated, because counties prioritize valuations and total square footage over boundary measurements. Here's how the four main sources compare.
Free to search, but dimension fields are often incomplete, blank, or decades out of date — especially for older parcels.
The most accurate source. Every boundary line is labeled with its length. The catch: you have to track down the recorded plat or pay for a survey.
What LotSite uses. Parcel boundaries from county records are drawn over satellite imagery, so you can see and measure every side of your lot.
Legally definitive metes-and-bounds language, but written for surveyors — nearly impossible to visualize without plotting it out.
If you just need to know where your boundaries are — not their exact lengths — start with our property line map, or read how to find your property lines for a comparison of every method.
On a plat map, lot dimensions appear as numbers printed along each property boundary line — each figure is the length of that side in feet. For a standard rectangular lot, the first number you'll usually notice is the frontage (the side along the street) and the second is the depth.
Bearings like N45°E next to a line indicate the compass direction that boundary runs — useful for orienting the drawing to the real world. Don't confuse dimension lines with setback lines: setbacks are drawn separately (often dashed) and show how far structures must sit from the boundary, not the boundary length itself.
