You want to make sure you know your property lines before building a fence.

You may be contemplating building an addition to your house or building a fence. Before you begin your project, you will need to make sure you know your property lines. One way to do this is to hire a land surveyor. There are also ways to determine property line online. Many counties now have online property maps available that are free to the general public. You can find these maps through your county or tax assessor's website.
