Find my boundaryA property boundary is the legal line defining the spatial extent of a land parcel. In New Zealand, the cadastre is maintained by LINZ (Land Information New Zealand) and is publicly available at data.linz.govt.nz. Each parcel has a unique identifier recorded in the title system, but the boundary itself is the polygon that represents where the land begins and ends on the ground.
Knowing your boundary is useful for many practical purposes: checking where a fence should go, confirming the area of a section before subdivision, understanding what a buyer or seller means when they quote a lot size, or verifying a building setback before applying for resource consent.
MapMyLot sources New Zealand cadastral data directly from LINZ (data.linz.govt.nz). LINZ is the Crown agency responsible for New Zealand's land title and cadastral survey systems. The dataset is in EPSG:4326 (WGS84) natively - no coordinate reprojection is required, which means the boundary positions are as accurate as the source data.
The LINZ dataset contains approximately 4.26 million parcels. It includes freehold residential sections, rural lots, commercial properties, crown land, and Maori land parcels that have been registered with the Maori Land Court. Historic parcels without geometry are excluded.
The LINZ cadastral boundary shows the legal extent of the lot. For urban properties this typically matches the fenced boundary closely. For rural or coastal properties there may be larger variances between the legal boundary and any physical markers on the ground.
The boundary does not show easements, right of ways, consent notices, or covenants. For those items you would need to request a copy of the title from LINZ's Landonline system or engage a solicitor. MapMyLot shows the boundary shape, area, and perimeter from a plain street address - nothing more, nothing less.

LINZ (Land Information New Zealand) is the government agency that maintains the national property cadastre. The dataset at data.linz.govt.nz contains approximately 4.26 million parcels covering residential, rural, commercial, and Maori land parcels across New Zealand.
The LINZ cadastral dataset includes Maori land parcels that have been registered with the Maori Land Court. Coverage may vary for unregistered Maori customary land. MapMyLot displays whatever is in the LINZ cadastral layer.
LINZ cadastral data is accurate to approximately 1 to 2 metres for compiled boundaries. Survey-accurate parcel data may be more precise where a survey plan is on record. For a legally binding boundary determination, engage a licensed cadastral surveyor in New Zealand.
