Location Boundaries on the Map
The Boundaries tool controls what boundaries you see on the Map. This is a useful tool for checking to ensure a property is exactly where you want it to be if you need it to fall within school boundaries or within a certain zip code, for example.
Available Boundary Views: There are four standard boundary views that you will always have – Parcel, Zip Code, City, and County. School District (Unified, elementary, or Secondary), and Common Neighborhood (when available) are configured by your MLS system administrator.
Parcel Boundaries Overview
When the parcel boundary is turned on, the property lines for all parcels appear. You can set Parcel view as the default view in your user preferences.
Click here to view the active Parcel boundary lines.
TIP: To view boundaries, you must be zoomed in to the Map. If you are viewing a very large area the boundary lines will not appear. There is a zoom in or zoom out icon which will appear on the boundary menu if you are not at the correct zoom level
