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.

Whether you're planning a fence, starting a landscaping project, or just want to know your exact lot size, knowing your property lines is the first step. In Richmond, the typical residential lot is around 9,000 square feet, but every property is different.
Your county assessor's GIS portal is the official source for recorded property boundaries, and a licensed surveyor costs $300–$800. LotSite is neither: it shows you satellite imagery of your Richmond property in under 30 seconds so you can trace and measure what you can see.
Richmond is in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, making Fescue the go-to for local lawns. Once you know your lot dimensions, use our calculators to figure out exactly how much fertilizer, seed, or mulch you need, no more guessing at the hardware store.
