It depends on the type of system your county has in offering information though the Internet. In my county I can bring up on my home computer any address in the county and call for the property lines with measurements.
If I want to transfer this information to real property, I have to locate the nearest property stake (a metal stake buried in the ground) and then measure from that stake to cover the properties involved using the information on the Internet.
I can get the same information by going to the county court house and asking for that same information. This latter should cost little more than copying fees.
Of course what system you use depends on what you want to do. If it is anything of a legal nature, a stake survey must be completed by an authorized individual.

If you can't pay a surveyor to go and stake out the points on the property you are looking at or you don't have permission to enter the property to locate those points from the owners you're kind of between the degrees and the minutes on this one. A property line has no thickness and it is based on it's location by distances between points. Great diet ha. In any event if you want to merely look at the surveys of the property in question do what the other answerers said. Go to the court house armed with either the exact location of the properties or the assessed names of the property owners and ask them to help you locate the recorded surveys if any.

The best way to find out property bounderies is to call or go to the courthouse in the county the property is in and ask to see or get a copy of the master land plot.

The only way to find true and accurate property lines are to have a stake survey done.
