Mine is 6-8 inches from the water meter outside @ the curb. It's not going to look like a handle, but more like a flat piece that you will need pliers or an actual meter key for.

Find your water meter. There will be at least one valve there. The "handle" may just look like a raised bar. When the bar lines up with the water line, it is open. When the bar goes across the direction of the line, it is closed. A cresent wrench will usually work for turning it.

If you have a slab look in the garage. It is usually in the wall.
Also, to cut off from the outside, look around the perimeter of your property/house for a covered box that is buried with only the top showing. Inside the box is a cut-off valve for your water.

Usually in the basement or crawl space. If you have a slab foundation, will be under a sink or perhaps near the hot water heater.
