Legal property boundaries for Birmingham are recorded and maintained by Jefferson County, AL. Their official parcel viewer shows recorded boundary lines. LotSite does not look up or display legal boundaries: use the county's viewer for those, and use LotSite to measure lawns, driveways, and other areas you can see in satellite imagery.
Open the Jefferson County parcel viewerWhether you're planning a fence, starting a landscaping project, or just want to know how big your lot is, knowing your property lines is the first step.
Your county's records office is the official source for recorded property boundaries, and a licensed surveyor is the one who can mark them on the ground. LotSite is neither: it shows you satellite imagery of your Birmingham property so you can trace and measure what you can see.
The Birmingham city limits reach into 2 counties: Jefferson County and Shelby County. Each county keeps its own assessor records and its own recording office, so the first thing to settle is which county an address is in. The records card above links Jefferson County; an address in Shelby County is searched through that county's offices instead.
In Alabama, deeds and subdivision plats are recorded by the judge of probate. For Jefferson County, that office is the Probate Court of Jefferson County, Recording Department. Alabama publishes no statewide map of recorded parcels that LotSite could find on state sites, so the records kept by Jefferson County are the place to look.
