property boundaries
Where lots end
Property boundaries are the legal lines that define where one parcel of land ends and another begins.
These invisible borders determine ownership rights and responsibilities—who can build, plant, or access a given piece of ground.
Boundaries are typically established by surveys and recorded in deeds: The fence doesn't follow the actual property boundaries.
Disputes over property boundaries between neighbors often require professional surveying or legal resolution.
