Property dimensions are the linear measurements of your lot's edges — typically expressed as width (frontage) by depth, in the familiar "60 x 120" style you see on listings. They're distinct from lot area: dimensions describe the shape in feet, area describes the total in square feet. A 60 x 120 lot and an 80 x 90 lot have exactly the same 7,200 sq ft area but very different shapes — and shape is what decides whether the pool fits.
Property survey. The most accurate source — every boundary segment measured with bearings and distances by a licensed surveyor. Check your closing documents; many homeowners already have one.
Plat map. The recorded subdivision map at the county recorder's office — definitive for most residential lots, with each lot line's length printed on the map.
County assessor. Many parcel records include dimensions, published free — when the county has them on file and the portal makes them findable, which varies.
LotSite. See the property on satellite imagery and measure the visible boundaries yourself with the tape measure — fastest option, and the only one that works instantly for any address.
Real estate listings. Often show "W x D" dimensions, but figures are pulled from public data and can be approximate. For the full guide to dimensions by address, see lot dimensions by address.
LotSite's tape measure mode works like a tape you never have to unreel: tap to drop a point at one end of a boundary — a fence corner, the edge of the driveway apron — then tap again at the other end, and the distance between the points reads out in feet. Chain points along an angled or stepped boundary to measure each segment.
Measure across the front of the lot for frontage, front-to-back for depth, and around the whole boundary for the perimeter a fence quote needs. You're measuring the features you can see on the imagery, so the numbers are planning-grade — for the legally recorded dimensions, the survey and plat map above are the references. Try it in the measurement tool.
Frontage is the width along the street — it governs curb appeal, driveway placement, and often zoning minimums. Depth runs from the street to the rear line and determines how much backyard you get behind the house.
Not every lot is a rectangle: irregular lots have more than two dimensions — a pie-shaped cul-de-sac lot might have 40 ft of frontage, 130 ft of depth, and a 110 ft rear line. And remember that setbacks — required distances between structures and property lines — shrink the buildable area inside your dimensions; a 60 ft wide lot with 10 ft side setbacks leaves 40 ft of buildable width.
