property boundary

Land ownership edge

A property boundary is the legal line separating one parcel of land from another.

These boundaries determine where one owner's rights end and a neighbor's begin: The fence sits right on the property boundary.

Disputes over property boundaries often involve surveys, deeds, and sometimes lawyers.

Also called a property line.
