Parcel Overlay
View property boundary lines to verify lot edges and ensure accurate measurements.
What is the Parcel Overlay?
The parcel overlay displays property boundary lines from public records. These boundaries show:
- Property lines (lot boundaries)
- Parcel shapes and dimensions
- Adjacent property boundaries
This is helpful for verifying that your measurements stay within property lines and for understanding the full extent of a lot.
How to Use
- Find the Parcel Button: Located in the bottom-left corner of the map. It shows "Parcels" when off.
- Click to Toggle: Click the button to turn parcels on. The button changes to "Parcels On" with a yellow background when active.
- Zoom In: Parcel lines only appear at zoom level 14 or higher. If you're zoomed out, you'll see a hint to zoom in.
- View Boundaries: Property lines appear as blue outlines over the satellite imagery.
- Click to Toggle Off: Click the button again to hide parcel lines.
When to Use Parcels
Verify Property Lines
Ensure your measurements match the actual property boundaries, not adjacent lots.
Multi-Parcel Sites
For commercial sites spanning multiple parcels, see where individual property lines fall.
Shared Parking
When parking lots cross property boundaries, verify which portions belong to which owner.
Proposals
Show clients exactly which areas fall on their property vs. neighboring properties.
Important Notes
Reference Only
Parcel data is for reference purposes. For legal property boundaries, always consult official surveys and plat maps.
Zoom Requirement
Parcels only display at zoom level 14 and higher. This prevents cluttering the map when viewing large areas.
Coverage
Parcel data is sourced from Regrid and covers most of the United States. Some rural areas may have limited coverage.
Tips
Toggle While Drawing
Turn parcels on before drawing to align your measurements with property lines, then toggle off for a cleaner view.
Check Easements
Parcel lines may not show easements or rights-of-way. Consult property records for complete boundary information.
Different from Paving Edges
Property lines often don't match paving edges. Lots may have unpaved setbacks or paving that extends past the lot line.
