Hire a licensed land surveyor The most accurate way to know where your land begins and ends is to hire a surveyor to determine your property lines. The property surveyor will first check county records to understand the history of the lot.
Online aerial maps (like those available on some council websites) give you a starting point. However, the definitive description of your boundary is on the legal title for your property. There is usually at least one diagram on your title which will have the set measurements of all of your boundaries' locations.

Property lines can be identified by the boundary corner monuments that land surveyors set when they survey a property. A boundary corner monument is usually a metal stake or pipe driven into the ground at each corner of a property.
