How to get Plat/Deed/etc to determine property lines?
Hi y'all,
I'd like to replace my fence to a multiunit I own, but I want to confirm my property lines first. I have reason to believe that one of the fence lines is further into my property than it should be due to a tree being in the way. How can I confirm my property lines? Is there an online database I can use to look up my property?
I don't know if I have my deed or anything yet (I'm searching for all the papers I received at closing). But even if I got access to the plat/deed/etc, how can I accurately measure?
Also, I went to the city of new Orleans website and read every permit they had and didn't see anything about needing a permit to replace a fence. Am I correct about this, or would I need to get a permit? If so, which one, because I didn't see anything that matched such a description.
Thanks so much!
