3. How do I find my property line?

Before installing a fence or doing some landscaping it’s important to know where your property line ends and your neighbor’s property begins. Homeowners can use a metal detector to locate buried iron monuments in the four corners of the property. This isn't an actual, legal survey but it provides the homeowner with an approximation of where property lines are located. 

If there is a dispute about property lines, homeowners are advised to obtain a legal survey by hiring a professional surveyor. Unfortunately, the city is not able to help resolve property line disputes.
