10. Where is my property line?

Property lines are determined by subdivision of land into lots or parcels. Legal descriptions define the location of the property on the ground.
When a new subdivision is created, it will have metal bars with a cap (called a hub) that identifies the corners of lots. The surveyor hired by the developer of the subdivision establishes these physical points.
Older subdivisions may no longer have markers at the lot corners.
If there is a dispute between property owners, the only correct way to find the property line locations is by hiring a private surveyor to mark those corners.
