The Boundary Lengths overlay allows you to quickly visualize the length of each segment of a parcel’s boundary directly on the map. This feature is especially useful for evaluating property dimensions, understanding lot shape, and estimating setbacks.
🔍 What This Feature Does
When enabled, Boundary Lengths will display the measurement (in feet) of each individual edge of a selected parcel. Instead of showing just total acreage or perimeter, this breaks the parcel down into its component boundary segments.
⚙️ How to Enable Boundary Lengths
Open the Map View
Navigate to the right-hand panel
Under Data Layers, locate Parcels
Toggle Boundary Lengths ON
Once enabled, select any parcel on the map to view its boundary measurements.
📐 How It Works
Click on any parcel to highlight it
Each edge of the parcel will display a measurement in feet
Measurements represent the length of each boundary segment—not the total perimeter
💡 Why You May See Multiple Small Segments
Not all parcel boundaries are perfectly straight lines. Many edges are made up of multiple smaller segments that slightly change direction. Because of this, you may see several measurements along what appears to be a single edge.
🧭 Interacting with the Map
As you pan or rotate the map, the measurement labels will adjust so they remain readable
Works on parcels of all shapes and sizes, including irregular or complex lots
🧠 Use Cases
Evaluate setback potential
Understand the lot dimensions before making offers
Analyze irregular parcel shapes
Estimate fencing or development requirements
⚠️ Notes
Measurements are displayed in feet
You must select a parcel to see boundary lengths
This feature is part of the Parcels data layer
