DIGGING INTO PROPERTY EASEMENTS—ANYONE ELSE FIND ONLINE TOOLS CONFUSING?
I get what you mean about GIS maps being all over the place. I’ve tried using those when helping clients figure out where they can actually build out a patio or fence, and I swear, sometimes the lines don’t even match up with the curb. Has anyone here actually had luck getting accurate info from the county’s online portal, or is it just as unreliable everywhere?
I’m curious if anyone’s ever gone ahead with a project based on what they saw online, only to find out later that the boundaries were off. Did you have to redo anything? I always wonder if it’s worth risking it or if it’s just safer to bite the bullet and call in a pro, even if it feels like overkill for something small like a garden bed.
Do you think there’s any trick to reading those plats that makes them less confusing, or is it just a matter of experience? Sometimes I feel like I need a decoder ring...
