I want to put a fence up.

The company that is putting the fence up should do that for you. Your property is probably marked with stakes, but as others have said, city hall would be where you would go.
You may find that if the property is not staked that you will need it to be surveyed anyway (even with the documents)

Your county appraisal district should be able to provide a survey map. I know that the website for my county shows property lines. There is probably a city agency that can give you better information; this is just what I use to quickly access a property for purchasing. After a TRUE survey is drawn, then you will see that info.
You may also have that info in hand - check the closing documents on your home. There should be a survey drawing enclosed to show you exactly where your property lines are.

Where I live if you want to be absolutely sure and have proof to back up your fence then you have to have it officially surveyed which can cost a hefty sum.
If you're on good terms with your neighbors you can ask them. Generally people know where the lot lines are approximately or there might even be some old lot stakes still there.
You'll also need to check with your municipality about their rules and regs as pertaining to fencing. Nothing worse than having to rip it down and re-build or to be fined. Get all the proper permits too.

you need a surveyor. The town can show you on a map/plot plan, but that doesn't help putting up a fence. You need something more precise.

You need a surveyor. I would recommend that after you get the survey, you discuss it with your neighbor, and be sure that any challenges to the placement of the fence are resolved before you spend money installing it.

Call a property surveyor, they will come out and do the survey and give you a print out. They also marked the spot. Call Appraisal District, see if they have original survey.

You'll have to ask the contractor that built your house, or some people from your county or town board. Also, your best bet is to look at your neighbors lawn and compare it to yours. If there's a notable difference/line in the grass, that's where your porperty ends.

You need to hire someone that does surveys of the property line and mark it out for you. It is not cheap I think around $200.00

Your county tax Assessor should have your property maps, possibly online..
