How can I tell where my property lines are?
Refer to the current deed, available from the County Recorder, for a description of the property. If you're lucky, the description will refer to a recorded map. The existence of such a map of or even near your property increases the likelihood that survey markers (or "monuments") were set and may still be in place to help you locate your property corners. In any event, a visit to our office (in Public Works) can establish what, if any, maps exist. An index of recorded maps is now also available on the internet It may also be useful to ask your neighbors if they have located their own corners recently for a building permit or other reason. When all is said and done, if it becomes necessary for you to hire a private surveyor to locate your property lines, any research you do yourself will generally save time and money.
