I live in an older neighborhood. Most of the houses here are atleast 30 years old or better.

Go to your county courthouse and you will find a department there which has the Plat information on your particular lot, no matter how old it is. Take along your Property Tax statement for plat reference. On the PLAT OF YOUR SUBDIVISON are the dimension of your lot. It also has a dimension of your boundry from the CenterLine of your street, the center line of a corner lot and and the dimensions of every lot from that centerline on the street corner..
From that centerline of the street, you can get a very long 100 foot tape and very accurately measure from the center line of the corner lot,, each lot, marking as you go along, and locate your size exactly.
There is no need to hire a surveyor. This info of the Plat allows you to do a very accurate job.

First you need the physical description of your property, get that from the county assessors office. Then you need a surveyor to plot the physical description on the ground and mark it out for you. Just the physical description is not enough for the average homeowner to figure out where exactly the property line is.

When subdivisions are established the lot lines are marked by placing steel rods or pipes at each intersection. They are usually placed flush with the ground so that they're not accidentally displaced. A metal detector will work to find them if you know the general area. You could also hire a surveyor, but you will probably be charged a fee.

You should call a surveyor to survey your property.

Check your deed and see if it describes any metal stakes or anything you should look for. If it doesn't, head on over to your county registry of deeds and look yourself up, or ask them to help you look yourself up. If anyone has placed permanent markers to guide you, it will be in their book.
