property lines

Land ownership edges

Property lines are the legal boundaries that define where one piece of land ends and another begins.

They determine ownership limits and affect what you can build, plant, or fence.

Disputes over property lines between neighbors are common, often requiring surveys to resolve: The fence was two feet over the property line.

Also called boundary lines.
